CobaltC 1.0 Specification: Ownership, Borrowing, and Safe Concurrency
Summary
The article presents the final 1.0 specification for CobaltC, a Rust-inspired statically typed systems language emphasizing explicit ownership, borrowing, lifetimes, and safe concurrency, with comprehensive sections on types, modules, memory model, FFI, and safety rules. It includes a large example showing generic types, ownership semantics, and Result-based error handling, illustrating how the language aims to enforce memory safety and deterministic destruction. This resource is useful for analyzing language design decisions around ownership, safety, and interoperability in systems programming.
