And yet C is probably the non obscure language that has evolved 
the least within these 25 years. Which is all the more 
astonishing that none of the features in my wishlist is 
particularly difficult to implement, none of them breaks 
compatibility with the past, and none of them makes it hard to 
port to exotic architectures. The last C standard has been 
particularly disappointing in this regard, as next to nothing 
that really matters has changed.

It seems to me that the C experts crowd is the most conservative 
crowd you can find, and one that loves to impose its own 
masochism to the rest of the world.
