I suspect that what happened is the C people who wanted more have long
since moved to other languages, and the ones left are the people who
don't want C to change at all.
One of the few things I like about Windows 8 is that if Microsoft has
its way, C will eventually become a second class citizen at least on one
major platform.
Heck, even I proposed a way to fix C's array problem (which is, by far,
C's biggest mistake) in a backwards compatible way, and all I get are
blank looks from the C people.
Proper modules, removing array to pointer decay with length support
would surely make it a better language.
