Why do you still follow c's (basicly nonexistent) development after 3 decades of shipping your own compiler? Or do you think this is good marketing?

C23 just came out, and C2y is on the way.

It is still the official language of key industry standards like the ones from Khronos and Open Group (POSIX 2024 now requires C17 as minimum), so beloved by FOSS folks.

It is more existent than it should be.

Typo in section "Importing Declarations": `floo.d` should be `floo.c`
