It's only Microsoft's fault to have not implemented it for decades in MSVC. They stayed at C89 forever.

I never understand the reason why Microsoft lagged so much behind on newer c standards adoption. Did their compiler infrastructure made it difficult to adopt newer standards flexible? Or they simply did not care?

    They focused on C++ only. Management, not their devs.
