#2I can't tell if this is serious.
Surely if you're still using C now it's for legacy reasons. And if using it for legacy reasons you are likely stuck using an old C standard.
So who will use C23?

There are many many people out there using C for embedded software.

The problem is that embedded compilers are not known for keeping up with the standards. The only hope is that the moves to GCC and Clang continue.

We all use C because it works and we love to get things done.

No one cares about the standards. We only care about getting things done by writing regular C code that works.

#8“`typeof` is standard”
Hallelujah, after only five decades generic, type-safe macros which evaluate their arguments exactly once will finally be possible with standards-compliant C.

#9Whenever I use C I use it for the express purpose of supporting ancient platforms. These platforms often only support C89, so that’s the dialect of C to which I restrict myself. If I am able to ignore those old platforms, I use C++. RAII is just so convenient.

C is a portable alternative to assembly language.
