> I just don't understand lack of the life and no improvements in C for ages. Well, MSVC still hasn't even fully implemented C99. One of the big draws of C, as I see it, is its wide support on many operating systems and architectures. If you're going to abandon that by using new C features, you might as well use a language with less cruft. |

Neither does GCC. Both don't fully implement C11 either.
Most these features are either things C-Compilers don't need to support themselves. Namely: special integer types can be placed in libraries instead of compilers.
Also bounds checking interfaces are a performance loss and not included in C compilers despite them being part of the C11 standard. (Well they're optional)
