I haven’t tried C3 myself, but I happened to interact a lot with Christopher Lerno, Ginger Bill and multiple Zig maintainers before. Was great to learn that C3, Odin and Zig weren’t competing with each other but instead learn from each other and discuss various trade-offs they made when designing their languages. Generally was a very pleasant experience to learn from them on how and why they implemented building differently or what itch they were scratching when choosing or refusing to implement certain features.
Which one for is most reasonable for embedded?
C3 was quite easy to get running. I have a minimal project to use C3 for ESP32-C3 chips here: https://github.com/abyesilyurt/c3-for-c3

What is the difference? Using polite words to communicate?
Competing with each other would be trying to one-up each other feature-wise, whereas what I have witnessed was things like discussing trade-offs made in different languages and juggling around ideas on if some feature from language A would make sense in language B too.

why would I want to attract bugs? Vinegar keeps them away from me
