Great, another programming language we can't google! Please rename it to Membranous language.
Or for that matter, type. At least C♯ has "C#".
Maybe we can use C' ?

#12Why not support floating point number type?

#13Nice idea, but please give it a name that makes the language easy to discuss and search for.
There's no way I'm going to work on Monday and discussing: 'did you see that new language that I have no idea how it's pronounced that was on HN?'

Second statement from the article: Ć is a new language, aimed at crafting portable programming libraries, with syntax akin to C#
That's the purpose, is there really such a need?
Right. Who would ever want to be able to write libraries that can run on any platform?

I'm not saying there isn't a need, but I'm interested in knowing of another need. Hasn't this been done in C already? C pretty much runs anywhere, after all. What exactly does this bring to the table?
Sorry that people thought I was being negative (as per all the downvotes - you people really aught to comment), I'm just curious as to why other languages don't fill this gap.

#16Great idea, but why another new language? Why not just pick a subset of C#? (or Java, or D, but subjectively speaking, C# is the most "friendly" language from that list)

#17Pronunciation: http://www.asusilc.net/scr101/les1/s1glas.htm "ch or tch as in: church, fetch, pronounced softer than the English sound"
I'd say it's more like 'ci' (sounds closer to 'ty') in Italian 'ciao' and less like 'ch' in 'change'.

If you have a C# back-end and a web front-end being able to write validations in this, that can run in both places, is one obvious use-case that I can think of.

It is a subset of C#. And giving that subset a name is much easier than talking about »that subset of C# that compiles cleanly to Java, D, Perl and C«.

At least in OS X, you can type Ć by holding C and pressing 2:
