I quite dislike the defer syntax. IMO the cleanup attribute is the much nicer method of dealing with RAII in C.

I think C should be reset to C89 and then go over everything including proposals and accept only the good&compatible bits.

If you can't compile K&R, you should label your language "I can't believe it's not C!".

I don't have time to learn your esolang.
