With C's development model, I don't see anything remotely interesting being implemented anywhere ever.
It took them 10 years to add complex numbers in C99, and they still kept the shitty, unsafe standard library as incomplete and terrible as ever, no Unicode support, no lists, shitty arrays, not even safe integer sizing or god fucking overflow, let alone any attempts to bring decent programming features to C.
And now the C1X guys are wasting their time on alignment control, sad generics and their shitty attempt for Unicode support, the only useful addition being threads (in 201X, lol) and perhaps bounds checking (but go figure how this will be implemented), and oooh, incredible, they've added gets_s to the standard library! Now it's like, 20 times better.
C is dead. Use it as portable assembly for calling anything else, and leave it alone.
