Proposal for adding generic lambdas to C Standard [pdf] (open-std.org)

Is it just me, or is every mainstream language converging to the same uber-language? First Java and C++ get lambdas (originally from LISP), and now C potentially will get them as well. Let's focus on making sure C does C-stuff as well as possible.
This proposal is moving through the C standards process and I was curious about whether people think it is a good idea. It appears to have a lot of backing in the Committee ( I am dubious, but I think I am in the minority).

If there is interest, I will also publish links to other proposals that are moving forward in the C23 process.
