Nether C, where programs leave a ledger instead of running

Editorial interest 89/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A C dialect and specification treat programs as burials: evaluation stops at unanswered questions, leaving an immutable trace.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-09 issue.
For
Programmers curious about immutable, replayable computation
Worth noticing
Every value carries a depth from 0 to 8; drawn bytes belong at stratum 7 because source alone cannot reconstruct them.

Field notes

The public manual organizes the model into nine strata and six rites, with separate sections for grammar, types, burial, holes, and replay. It says every value has a depth from 0 to 8, that depth never decreases, and that drawn bytes must be written down because source cannot reproduce them. The page links a specification, source, roadmap, and project-status section; the extract does not establish how much of the language is implemented.
