"Type inference for variable definitions and function returns"

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2022/p230...

Enjoy some of the other proposals,

"Basic lambdas for C"

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2022/p230...

"Improve type generic programming"

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2022/p230...

"Type-generic lambdas"

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2022/p230...

"Revise spelling of keywords"

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2022/p231...

"Make false and true first-class language features"

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2022/p231...

Naturally at this point one could ask why not just use C++ instead, well that is what happens when a language group is so firmly against moving upwards, but still wants the features on their language.

Naturally missing from the list are any kind of improvements to string or arrays alternatives, as usual.
