Ironically the C++ standards consortium doesn’t want C to improve anymore and wants people to just use C++. Rules for thee but not for me.

Stabilizing C as the language of the operating system and keeping it simple isn't without benefits.

But I do think the frustration that C++ can no longer be a super set of C is overblown by C++.
