Any hopes that MSVC will add C23 support before 2040?

If you interpret 23 as hex, that's only five years after the year, which isn't too bad!

		I suppose it makes sense that every version that came after "c++0x" should be interpreted in hex.

Given how C was seen in the past, before there was a change of heart to add C11/C17, minus atomics and aligned memory allocators (still between experimental or not going to happen),

And the new guidelines regarding the use of unsafe languages at Microsoft, I wouldn't bet waiting that it will ever happen, even after 2040.

Well, with the death of Xbox and release of raddebugger, maybe supporting VS/MSVC just isn't that important anymore. Good riddance.

		People keep forgetting Microsoft is one of the biggest publishers in the market, given the number of owned studios. The box under the TV is a tiny part of the picture that makes Microsoft Games Studios and related subsidiaries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Microsoft_Gaming_studi... If Microsoft really gets pissed due to SteamOS and Proton, there are quite a few titles Valve will be missing on.

Will windows be relevant by 2040? I personally don’t think so.

		Depends on how much Valve manages to get rid of Proton.

Bit of a random question on an article about C.

The article clearly states that the code only works on GCC and Clang, which leaves MSVC. Not sure how the question was random.

		There are other C compilers.
