The GitHub project has more details: https://github.com/c3lang/c3c
Some ways C3 differs from C:
- No mandatory header files
- New semantic macro system
- Module-based namespacing
- Slices
- Operator overloading
- Compile-time reflection
- Enhanced compile-time execution
- Generics via generic modules
- "Result"-based zero-overhead error handling
- Defer
- Value methods
- Associated enum data
- No preprocessor
- Less undefined behavior, with added runtime checks in "safe" mode
- Limited operator overloading (to enable userland dynamic arrays)
- Optional pre- and post-conditions
So far so good. The feature set is bit random though. Things i personally miss is function overloading, default values in parameters and tuple returns.

C3 has you covered

It also has operator overloading and methods which you could use in place of function overloading I guess.
