It might be interesting to note that none of the C alternatives: C3, Zig, Odin, Hare, Jai use ownership nor RAII.

Overloading is also generally missing from today's breed of C alternatives.

There has certainly been many attempts at C alternatives: eC, Cyclone etc etc

I think Jai has operator overloading. I won't use any of these though because I can't give up value semantics of data structures. In modern C++ it massively simplifies things and basically makes memory and most resource management a non issue.

Jai has operator overloading yes.

C3 has operator overloading.

I was talking about function overloading. Sorry for being unclear.
