> Copper is an experimental programming language that I use as a replacement to C and C++.
> 
> ## Features
> 
> - Statically typed.
> - 4 backends: x86 COFF, x86 ELF, x64 ELF and [LLVM](http://llvm.org/).
> - Simple syntax.
> - Basic type inference.
> - Type inheritance.
> - Out of order definitions.
> - Genericity.
> - Block closures for iterators.
> - New data types can be created.
> - Everything is explicit (no implicit type conversion, no exception, no destructor).
> - Simple import system, no need of headers.
> - Really fast (with non-LLVM backend).
> - Not everything in the global namespace.
> 
> If you want to see what it looks like, go to the [overview](https://tibleiz.net/copper/overview.html) page. For more complete information, you can have a look at the [documentation](https://tibleiz.net/copper/documentation.html).
> 
> I’m releasing it because [Code Browser](https://tibleiz.net/code-browser/) is developed with it: you need it to compile Code Browser from source or if you want to modify it. I don’t provide any tutorials, examples or standard library (you can get the one from Code Browser) but you can contact me if you have any questions.
