Most likely you are not allowed to comment on it, but has the official position from the last C9 VS team interviews changed?

I believe we're hoping that Clang/C2 will satisfy those who want to build C99 TUs on Windows. Personally, I have absolutely no interest in C99 (I wasted a year and a half of my life learning C before C++).

Thanks for replying. I had a similar experience back in the MS-DOS days still, and share the same opinion.

Turbo Pascal -> C (meh) -> C++ (great back in business!)

Even though I mostly do JVM and .NET nowadays, still enjoy playing with C++ on the side, specially for mobile OS coding.

I see dropping C support on Windows as a means to force developers to migrate to more secure languages, but of course Microsoft should do what makes business sense.
