> still stay with C89

You're missing out on one of the best-integrated and useful features that have been added to a language as an afterthought (C99 designated initialization). Even many moden languages (e.g. Rust, Zig, C++20) don't get close when it comes to data initialization.

You mean what Ada and Modula-3, among others, already had before it came to C99?

Who cares who had it first, what matters is who has it, and who doesn't...

Just straight up huffing paint are we.

Explain why? Have you used C99 designated init vs other languages?

E.g. neither Rust, Zig nor C++20 can do this:

Odin gets really close but can't chain initializers (which is ok though):
