On: Progress on C23

[marcodiego]

My favorite promises of c2x:

  Closures: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2737.pdf
  Type inference for variable definitions and function returns: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2735.pdf
  Type generic programming: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2734.pdf
  Defer mechanism: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2589.pdf

What is miss the most: the preprocessor still has no macro that modifies or creates a new macro.

At what point does this just become C++ with less library support?

[setpatchaddress → vlovich123]

When templates are included, which I assume will never happen.

I feel quite the opposite - this is would be like a mistake like VLA * 100000.
