Interesting to see Fil‑C used with a large framework like Qt. The fact that it compiles with minimal changes says a lot about the compatibility layer and the InvisiCaps approach.

This is awesome. Would love to see if it catches some of the Qt bugs I found but haven't been resolved yet[1].

I believe much more in making C/C++ safer than using something as complex as Rust.

SafER is better than deeply complex and unable to be understood except by Rust experts.

Very cool, thanks! I will try this with Mudlet.

I thought the point of Fil-C was to be a drop in safe replacement of C. This project existing implies it isn't. What's going on?
