As an embedded programmer I get to just casually take interest in these discussions, but at the end of the day, almost everything I do can be done in C89.

Although there are a couple things I am interested in from C23. But I think it’ll be some time before I can have those still.

C11 has a lot to offer over C89 in embedded work. alignas alone is a godsend for buffers that need coarse alignment.
