Because I find a waste of time to insist in pushing C, with all its flaws, into the industry.

Microsoft, Google, Apple and co have done the right decision regarding to what extent C is still required on their platforms, when we have Typescript for C for about 40 years.

Now if WG14 was actually doing type safe enumerations, sorting out implicit conversations and arrays decaying into pointers only to save typing 4 additionally characters per location, catching up to PL/I strings and arrays, I might be a bit more positive.

One can wait for WG14 to ever deliver that, assuming it will ever happen, or take the easier way out, and use such features on C++ today.

In reality, we as industry should have long replaced both of them with something better, since Ada and Modula-2 came to be, but alas the industry always takes the easier path, like mountain rivers.

Yes, but please take your general grievances about than Pascal / Modula / Ada did not win elsewhere than to every discussion related to C. Maybe write a nice Modula program and make submission aoub this?
