The case against an alternative to C
Made this C lib for exactly the reasons you mention. I love C but got mad at the constant bounds errors and copying.

Proposal for a full-fledged C String
Dynamic allocation, SSO, views, refcounting, etc.. are spread on various implementations.
C++ separates string and string_view. And they're not fully compatible. (Ex. you can't concat cross-type !?).
Rust has str, &str, String Box, ... ?
In the spirit of "a slice of a string is still a string", why not pack it all into a single type ? And offer security in the process.
Here's the scheme : https://github.com/alcover/buffet/raw/main/assets/schema.png

Oh! here's my chance to plug https://github.com/alcover/stricks ! It follows the same principle as SDS (i.e user-facing type is char*) but is much faster (see bench) and frankly nicer to read through.
Not as feature complete, though.

Mine is also variable (see https://github.com/alcover/stricks/blob/main/src/stx.c). Maybe they switch more often that necessary ?
