C99 and C11 standards

as part of my job  sometimes I get chance to interview C programmers, till today, number of  C programmers I have interviewed none knows about new(C11 & C99) features of C programming language, some even not heard of these standards that made me to add  this page, I strongly believe if we are working on product which is born out of C programming, one needs to know about C99 and C11 features as well as Safe-C libraries which improves software quality and security C99 standard has become absolute by now, considering C11 standard which is part of our products which are written in C programming language.  if we name few missing elements in C89 programming features 1) No array bounds checking 2) No variable length arrays 3) No inline functions 4) No support for Boolean data type 5) No complex number type support 6) No single line comment (//) 7) No variable number of arguments in MACRO 8) No support for declaring variables in blocks . and more .. all...
