C Programming Language

Welcome to the C community!
C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.
... When I read commentary about suggestions for where C should go, I often think back and give thanks that it wasn't developed under the advice of a worldwide crowd.
... The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Coming out of Saarland University is Vcc, the Vulkan Clang Compiler.
Vcc provides an "honest attempt to bring the entire C/C++ language family to Vulkan" as an interesting new compiler.
Vcc intends to support every legal use of these constructs per C/C++ language standards.
Vcc leverages the Shady project as an IR and compiler for extending the SPIR-V intermediate representation.
More details on the Vulkan Clang Compiler, which is still considered in its early stages of development, via this blog post and the new Vcc project site.
It will be very interesting to see where Vcc ends up and what new avenues it opens for Vulkan and GPU computing.
