@shia you're asking for features from the wrong paradigm for what C is

@reiddragon@fedi.catto.garden There are proposals for C2Y but who knows if they will get accepted.

Both are super useful features for a language like c.

@shia they're useful features, but they're not what C is.

C is high level assembler, as little abstraction as possible while still being portable across CPUs. What you're asking for there is expressive high level abstractions in the style of lisps.
