What caught my eye was how they kept C's "clockwise/spiral" rule for declarations. If their goal was to actually improve the language over C then it makes no sense to keep one of C's main shortcomings. Heck, even C++ improved on this problem by introducing support for trailing return type declarations in C++11. In addition, it appears C2 still lacks support for anonymous functions, which is simply absurd in today's age.
