To Microsoft, C is dead :( They don't get that C isn't just an old version of C++.
It took them 18 years to reluctantly produce an incomplete implementation of C99, and only the bare minimum to satisfy requirements of C subset in C++.
This is super depressing, because there's no hope of C being evolved further. Any fixes to the language will end up being "non-portable" due to Microsoft thinking C is done.
