Re: New C99 routines to the C Run Time Library for OpenVMS Alpha and Integrity
Good news and a step into the right direction. I hope this applies to x86-64 too!
If we want to expand OpenVMS' reach we need support for current technologies, or at least widely-used not-outdated technologies. This includes support for current/not-outdated C, C++, POSIX (although we should hope for native VMS application development), Java (I assume Mono is not on the monitors yet) and Python.
C11 coming?
