See the sibling comment about C not being fully supported everywhere. As long as people continue to make proprietary compilers, there will be implementation deficiencies. That's orthogonal to the language itself. > Codebases should not be using extensions, Agree and disagree. Maybe "codebases should only use extensions when it's feasible to provide fallbacks" or something. > and Linux is wrong to do so. I'm not sure I agree. There are some worthwhile extensions IMO, which is why I made the point earlier that I think it's time to standardize them.
