+\begin{center}\textbf{Abstract}\end{center}
+
+\CFA is a modern, non-object-oriented extension of the C programming language.
+This thesis addresses several critical deficiencies of C, notably: resource management, a limited function-return mechanism, and unsafe variadic functions.
+To solve these problems, two fundamental language features are introduced: tuples and constructors/destructors.
+While these features exist in prior programming languages, the contribution of this work is engineering these features into a highly complex type system.
+C is an established language with a dedicated user-base.
+An important goal is to add new features in a way that naturally feels like C, to appeal to this core user-base, and due to huge amounts of legacy code, maintaining backwards compatibility is crucial.

+\begin{center}\textbf{Acknowledgements}\end{center}
+
+I would like to thank my supervisor, Professor Peter Buhr, for all of his help, including reading the many drafts of this thesis and providing guidance throughout my degree.
+This work would not have been as enjoyable, nor would it have been as strong without Peter's knowledge, help, and encouragement.
+
+I would like to thank my readers, Professors Gregor Richards and Patrick Lam for all of their helpful feedback.
+
+Thanks to Aaron Moss and Thierry Delisle for many helpful discussions, both work-related and not, and for all of the work they have put into the \CFA project.
+This thesis would not have been the same without their efforts.
+
+I thank Glen Ditchfield and Richard Bilson, for all of their help with both the design and implementation of \CFA.
+
+I thank my partner, Erin Blackmere, for all of her love and support.
+Without her, I would not be who I am today.
+
+Thanks to my parents, Bob and Jackie Schluntz, for their love and support throughout my life, and for always encouraging me to be my best.
+
+Thanks to my best friends, Travis Bartlett, Abraham Dubrisingh, and Kevin Wu, whose companionship is always appreciated.
+The time we've spent together over the past 4 years has always kept me entertained.
+An extra shout-out to Kaleb Alway, Max Bardakov, Ten Bradley, and Ed Lee, with whom I've shared many a great meal; thank you for being my friend.
+
+Finally, I would like to acknowledge financial support in the form of a David R. Cheriton Graduate Scholarship and a corporate partnership with Huawei Ltd.
