A Language That Doesn't Have Everything Is

C Was Already Implemented On Several Quite Different Machines And Oss, Unix Was Already Being Distributed On The Pdp-11, But The Portability Of The Whole System Was New

C++ And Java, Say, Are Presumably Growing Faster Than Plain C, But I Bet C Will Still Be Around.

When I Read Commentary About Suggestions For Where C Should Go, I Often Think Back And Give Thanks That It Wasn't Developed Under The Advice Of A Worldwide Crowd.

I Fix Things Now And Then, More Often Tweak Html And Make Scripts To Do Things.

Pretty Much Everything On The Web Uses Those Two Things: C And Unix.
