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.
-- Dennis M. Ritchie
