... you can do a lot with C99.

Up to a point. This is the thing: every once in a while, a discussion
about some supposed C feature will founder on the discovery that it is
actually a POSIX feature, not available with standard C on non-POSIX
platforms.

Hang around comp.lang.c for a month or so, and you’ll see what I mean.

Albeit I prefer Elisp and Common Lisp.

I use lots of languages, including C and JavaScript. I use Elisp to
customize Emacs, and Python for lots of other things. I have even dabbled
with Smalltalk.
