these features will eventually trickle down into the mainstream, kind of like C11 is doing at the moment

also, unless you're targeting embedded or a very wide set of architectures, there's no reason why you couldn't start using C23 today

[bboygravity]

Or in other words, for embedded and existing code: most use c99, some use c11 and nobody uses c23 until at least 10 years from now.

This depends on the platform. Many embedded systems are based on arm these days and have modern toolchains available.

I cannot remember the last time I saw C99 used. C codebases generally use C11 or C17, and C++ code bases use C++20

[vitaminka]

most non-embedded and non-legacy codebases could use c23, that's not an insignificant set
