It avoids [[buffer overflow]]s and other vulnerabilities that are possible in C programs by design, without losing the power and convenience of C as a tool for [[system programming]]. It is no longer supported by its original developers, with the reference tooling not supporting [[64-bit computing|64-bit platforms]].

Cyclone development was started as a joint project of Trevor Jim from [[AT&T Labs]] Research and [[Greg Morrisett]]'s group at [[Cornell University]] in 2001. Version 1.0 was released on May 8, 2006.<ref>{{cite web |title=Cyclone |url=http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Projects/cyclone/ |website=[[Cornell University]]}}</ref>
