This version has a limit of 1000 instructions by default, to make it easier to prevent infinite loops.

It obeys the contemporary principle of programmers can't be trusted.

loop

  load B

  print

  store A

  load C

  store B

  add A

  store C

  goto loop

A 0

B 0

C 1

This is kind of EXPERT! Don't see why Kernighan would write something like it, though. (The documentation on the site is almost fucking useless, too, I actually had to read the interpreter's code.)

It's described better in his new book, D is for Digital. He basically uses it as an example to teach ``ordinary'' people about instruction sets, thus making them wish they picked up a For Dummies book instead.

Exactly. If only he became a lawyer, accountant, a filmmaker or a banker instead of writing a useful language that remains useful for over 50 years. That was really nothing done for us. No sir, such effort didn't contribute anything.

C is successful for the same reason that java is successful: the world is full of idiots.

What confuses me about Kernighan's claim that he didn't contribute to C is that he co-authored The C Programming Language, which acted as the first ``standard''. How is that not contributing to C? Did he just do the typesetting or something?

he fixed typos

after long bouts of writing, dmr used him to ``release sexual energy''
