There's tons of legacy C around, we have to maintain it, it's not ideal unless you're on some niche platform, lots of stuff should probably be written in a better language . . . I sincerely hope this is not the general attitude of the standards committee. Some of us actually prefer C, and would like to see the language continue to flourish.

Note that among the C experts participating in this AMA, I am not one who is in the standardization committee. At 14:59 EDT, just before the AMA was posted, we were joking between ourselves about me having to post this disclaimer but I guess there was a hidden truth in the joke.
