    There's a framework for C now at https://vely.dev which may help with C strings safety and memory management, among other things.

    Simpler way to parse JSON in C with Vely framework. See how to get a JSON request from the web, either from an HTML form (via POST) or JavaScript (application/json) request body. T…

    Here's an example of how an existing (and maybe the oldest?) language but with "new armor" can significantly lower the carbon footprint: Writing Green Software - Is Our Code Unfrie…

    Vely is a framework for C developers. Improvements in Vely 13/12: - Bunch of examples, including multitenant SaaS Notes application in only about 300 lines of code. - Added JSON su…

    I've incorporated it in "In a nutshell" section on the front page. Hope it helps people get what Vely does right away.

    That is a very interesting suggestion. The API underneath is already well-defined and documented in code. Something to consider for sure.

    In this case, just check if there is, near the beginning of file: #include "vely.h" which has to be in every Vely .v file.

    That is one of the use cases I would say are perfect for Vely. A combination of a low-level and high-level approach, which is often needed, and not just in this arena. IOT (Interne…

    Thank you for this feedback. I really appreciate it. I will incorporate it prominently on the web site.

    I guess you could say that. Quite a few comparisons here, and none really wrong as it's all in the eye of a beholder. Vely's main goal is to give you building blocks for general pu…

    Vely statements are created to generate safe code that will take care of memory issues you mentioned. It's like using a library that does something for you safely, except that Vely…

    At the time I didn't know that. Perhaps .vely extension, I guess that would do it. Something to consider to be nice for sure. Thanks for that.

    I didn't know about Vlang, I checked it out, looks very cool. Vely is really not a language breakthrough. Not at all. I would say Vely is a practical workhorse. It is about power o…

    Yes, kind of, you're right. C++ though went on for a roller-coaster of complexity, at least that's how I see it. I think of Vely as staying simple, declarative, and C all the way f…

    Comment #32235733

    I see your point. That's something to add to the documentation. For now, I guess, here it is. Each Vely statement generates some C code, maybe a one-liner, maybe quite a few. It wo…

    No, Vely does not understand C. Yes, gcc produces error messages when it comes to C code itself. However, the line number where the issue is located is exactly matched to the Vely …

    Ha ha, okay you got me. It's a piece of code that is for demonstration only. But I needed a simple piece of code that speaks of shrinking, without making the front page an exercise…

    I changed the indentation of lists to be smaller. At first just for mobile via media CSS, but then it seemed more readable for desktop too. So it should look better now.

    I found DejaVu Sans Mono to be a bit thinner and easier on the eyes. Either way is fine really. One of those whimsical decisions, I guess.

    It is fixed. Thanks again.
