Is the next C standard actively developed?

Is there currently a group working on the next开发者_StackOverflow C standard (by next, I mean after C99)? If so, what are the features likely to make it in?

there is something called c1x (still a draft)

They are at least working with the C++0x group to keep the threading standards between the two languages compatible. (Which also means that C will get a threading standard.)

According to the Wikipedia page (quoted by the OP), features include “Removal of the gets function”. What I find ridiculous is that, by the very nature of the C language, there are so so many ways to shoot yourself in the foot, and they remove exactly one of them.

Com'on, it's a grown ups' language! If you can shoot yourself in the foot, it's only because it has real firepower!
