Honestly I'm usually very wary of additions to C, as one of its greatest strengths (to me) is how rather straightforward it is as a language in terms of conceptual simplicity. There just aren't that many big concepts to understand in the language. (On the other hand there's _many_ footguns but that's another issue.)

That said, to me this seems like a great addition to the language. It's very single-purpose in its usage (so it doesn't seem to add much conceptual complexity to the language) and it replaces something genuinely painful (arcane linker hacks). I'm very much looking forward to using this as I often make single-executable programs in C. The only thing that's unfortunate is I'm sure it'll take decades before proprietary embedded toolchains add support for this.
