C= (pronounced 'See Stripes') is a Parallel C/C++ Programming Language Extension.
It is designed to cover all typical parallel programming paradigms and complement or even substitute existing parallel language extensions and libraries by providing a single parallel language most naturally connected with the C/C++ syntax and semantics.
The principles and constructs of C= including flexible task-thread semantics, parallel visibility scopes, object-free synchronization, and wake-wait task interaction paradigm are conceived to be easily adopted by other procedural and object-oriented languages, compiled or interpreted.
In brief, the main idea of C= is to motivate parallel thinking, let programmers focus on writing parallel programs in the first place, rather than do the job twice by implementing a sequential program and then trying to multithread it (though the latter approach, inevitable in many cases, is also elegantly supported).
Currently, the C= language extension is implemented as a C library and does not imply specific compiler support, nor radical changes to existing software building processes.
