You show a lack of awareness that ISO C and C++ are also not applicable, because on those domains the full ISO language standard isn't available, which is why freestanding is a thing.




But freestanding is not experimental, unlike Embedded Swift according to Apple. And there are full, large OS kernels written in C and C++.

You continue being undeniably, completely wrong.

Is it really? It always depends on which specific C compiler, and target platform we are talking about.

For Apple it suffices that it is fit for purpose for Apple itself, it is experimental for the rest of the world.

I love to be rightly wrong.
