Perhaps his point requires amplification.

C is not an easy language, but it is at least a simple one. Its 
Power-to-Complexity Ratio (which I will abbreviate to PCR) is enormous 
(high power, low complexity), and this is a Good Thing. Every new 
feature added to C increases its complexity, and thus decreases its PCR 
unless the pay-off in power is commensurately enormous.

C99 and C11 added new features to C that, whilst no doubt useful to 
various subsections of the C community, decreased the PCR significantly. 
C is now harder to learn than it used to be, and the pay-off in 
increased power is relatively low. Nevertheless, C's PCR remains higher 
than perhaps any other programming language.

But every new feature we add to C makes it heavier, harder to learn, and 
harder to implement. It becomes harder to ensure that features don't 
bump into each other. It becomes harder to read the code, because the 
syntax becomes more and more dirty and indeed ugly. The PCR thus takes a 
swallow dive, and (given that all the features we are adding to C 
already exist in other languages) the new features actually make people 
less and less likely to use C.

Nevertheless, the temptation to add features to C remains. For example, 
you wish to add operator overloading to C. Personally, I would love to 
see this (and I know that some people will disagree with me). 
Nevertheless, I hope that my wish is not granted, for the reason given 
above.

Since there are so many people around who can resist everything except 
temptation, it is inevitable that a C variant will arise that has these 
extra features added on.

But you don't have to call it C!

Names are cheap. In fact, names are almost free. It costs very little 
effort to think up a new name. Lőrinczy Zsigmond is making the point 
that you can easily call this new dialect something else, and that doing 
so has distinct advantages both for C and for your new language.

Diversity is a wonderful thing. A language that does everything you 
envisage is no doubt a worthy goal, but you don't have to call it C. Let 
C be what it is, and let your new language be what /it/ is, and then 
people can choose which one they want to use. In fact, you are far more 
likely to gain widespread acceptance of your ideas if you present them 
as a new, C-like language than if you try to persuade ISO to adopt your 
suggestions into C itself.

(You're understating the complexity. I've thought of dashing off a quick 
C compiler a few times, then after a bit more thought decided it was too 
much trouble, because the language /is/ complex in many subtle ways. Yet 
I can design an equivalent language which is easy to compile. Easier to

But there are some features that are so useful, and so easy to 
implement, that there is no reason not to have them. Having default 
function arguments is one of them.

If C is a bike, and C++ say is a car, then you're right that the bike 
has many advantages by being smaller and simpler (in being able to go 
anywhere, etc). But there's no reason why it can't have a padded seat, 
extra gears, and a bell! It will still have the same advantages.

Many C implementations seem to have their own extensions to the 
language. They are still called C compilers.

The extra gears are great, until your chain breaks and you have to get
it fixed by an expert rather than doing it yourself as you did on your
old bike.  (The analogy is poor, I know - but the point is that extra
features are not necessarily "free" due to the added complexity.  Though
clearly you are right that the cost-benefit ratios will be different for
different potential new features.)

It's a matter of degrees.  gcc (and many other compilers) add a few
small extra features, that make some types of code easier to write or
more efficient to implement.  But the changes Jacob is suggestion would
significantly change the language - it would be creating a "C+" that is
halfway between C and C++.  The changes are too big to be "C with
extensions".

If Jacob has the motivation to make such a language, that's great.  And
if it works well, and people find it useful, then the C committee and C
compiler (and library) writers should look at it for features to copy -
just as they take inspiration from C++ (such as "const", mixing
declarations and statements, etc.).  But I think Jacob is doing himself
a disfavour by trying to persuade the C community and committee to adopt
his ideas - his language would be stronger on its own at the moment.

(Unlike some others, I don't think it is unreasonable to discuss such
languages here, even if they are not standard C.)

Exactly.
There are several sweet spots, so room in the marketplace for products with
various simplicity / power trade-offs. But there are also areas in between where
adding complexity  will make learning how to use the language or implementing
or debugging it a lot harder, without gaining enough in power. Or where removing
features will noticeably damage the power without really game-changing the 
complexity.
The tiny C compiler is a one man project (tcc). It's open source, so one person ought to
be able to incorporate a C compiler into another project, using Fabrice Bellard's code
as base. That's not possible with C++.

Maybe. But what jacob wants to add is not a padded seat, but seat belts
and auto-lock doors.

Programming languages, and their toolchains, are like shops that that produce
vehicles. Vehicles are like executables. The speed, size and efficiency
of the vehicles is more important than of the factories.

Both the C and C++ factory produce vehicles. The smallest and lightest possible
vehicle which the C factory can produce using its standard techniques edges out
the smallest and lightest possible C++ vehicle by a small margin.  If the shop
workers are allowed to do nonstandard things, the contest is not so clear-cut.

Both the C and C++ factory can make large vehicles. The C++ factory has almost
all of the same tools as the C factory and can make pretty much all the same
vehicles, with some exceptions involving a few new specialized tools in the C
factory.

The C++ factory also has advanced tools that the C factory has no clue about,
which can produce vehicles, large and small, in different ways that are not
possible in the C factory.

But the price and safety of the vehicle are usually the most important single factors.
Those are influenced mainly by the cost and complexity of gluing the standard 
components together, and of building any custom components required. 
C in my view wins by a large margin, because C interfaces tend to be cleaner 
than in almost any other language. Components written in C will fit into almost
any car, as well as being efficient internally. Where C falls down is that it's hard to 
verify that any component or glue is safe.

Which is where C++ steps in.  It's much easier to write safe code in C++.

There's C++, C sharp and Objective C. All of which are better or enhanced C,
with facilities for easy linking with components written in C. So another language
called C_something would be in good company.

However C sharp and Objective C really only caught on because they had massive
corporations behind them determined to make their C dialect a standard. Unless
Jacob can persuade IBM or someone like that to back him, it's going to be hard to
attract a user base. You always have the chicken and egg problem, a widely-used
language is always more attractive than a little-used one, even if the little-used
one is objectively superior.

this could be called "additions to c"
seems just like port of some c++ aditions to c (i wouldnt called it new language but also not " new c directions " as this is bad way arrogant or bad way marketing

PS as to title: 
I am not sure if any new directions in c are at al possible .. becouse c is c, if you will change it it wouldnt be at all c but warped c 
otherwise if you will conform to c rules and somewhat build it up, it may be some
new c - well this way it seem possible
(though probably new c would differ to old c so this way also shows a bit that c is like one, the old c (REVERE (ESTEEM) YOUR (PRIMARY) C)

thus imo this title could be only "new directions in new c" besides that if additions do not hold c spirit those are
not even a "new c" but some other 'warped c successor'

(i wonder if my c2 solutions could be called new c (probably no and this is 
also warped descendand)
