Ask HN: Any new C development in recent time?

3 points| sushobhan | 9 years ago | reply

When it comes to programming, C is my one and only love. Though in professional life I never ever used it in any of the client projects, but the love always remains the same. I'm kind of nostalgic about C. Just curious, is there any new development going on?

I had a greenfield C project at a position ~3 years ago, working on HFT infrastructure. That said, I expect most new C projects are embedded.

That's great. But until we see these new libraries included in C definition, how new users will know that C is live? I think C11 is the last C standard, that is almost 6 years from now. Feeling sorry for this amazing language.
