C is quirky, flawed, and an
|
|
enormous success. Although accidents of history
|
|
surely helped, it evidently satsfied a need
|
|
|
|
for a system implementation language efficient
|
|
enough to displace assembly language,
|
|
yet sufficiently abstract and fluent to describe
|
|
algorithms and interactions in a wide variety
|
|
of environments.
