Trivial provocation, I was obviously referring to concepts, rather than hardware. Hardware has nothing to do with the language and its standard library.
TCP/IP? Mid-to-late 80s. Threading? Windows originated in 1985 and threading was not an issue with DOS. Character sets that aren't ASCII? Hoo boy, welcome to the late 80s.
Time zones were around at the conception of C, but it didn't really matter much until the Internet hit big that time zones became an issue. The time handling library is grossly inefficient and lacking in power and that sort of thing is NEEDED by programs today.
Now stop trolling me with utter garbage.
