Question about the C language version

From: David Hu via curl-users <curl-users_at_lists.haxx.se>

Hello all,
Why does `curl` still use the ancient C89 style code instead of C99, C11 or C17? It *is* 2021 right now! And C89 code restricts developers from using most modern C syntaxes and features. Could you please give an explanation why? Thank you!
