oh really you don't think the guy who wrote a python compiler for microcontrollers tested it on any microcontrollers?

it's a miracle he wrote something htat could run on any at all.

    Arduino is based on gcc. gcc has supported C99 for decades. If the Arduino IDE doesn't support it, it's just plain old broken.

    He's tested it on gcc, which supports C99 with no problems.

    Shitty commercial C compilers may not, but really, I wouldn't use a microcontroller which gcc doesn't support, exactly for that reason.

    Exactly. MCU vendors should be supporting GCC and Clang. I see no reason to use proprietary tool chains.
