I thought Chuck Falconer was the old dog around here. When did
you write "hello, world\n" in C the first time? Eric? Keith?

Chuck and I can bark with the best, but my bite is
less fearsome than it used to be ... I first wrote C in,
in, well, it must have been 1978 or 9. First project was
a communications controller for a vector-graphics terminal,
and a right mess I made of it, too.

Every so often a guy named Dennis posts here, with a
preposterous claim of having even earlier C experience.
If one were so gullible as to take his boast at face value,
even the oldest dogs would rate as mere puppies.

I wrote "hello, world\n" in 1986 but I copied it out of an eight
year old paperback. :-)

I still have the paperback.

So do I: One of the two best programming language texts
I've ever read. Never got around to reading the second
edition, though.

Just a muffled woof here. I wonder if several books are going to
show up when and if I get around to unpacking after my move. K&R1
is one, TAOCP is another, and so is Aho.

I ignored C for a long time, and concentrated on Pascal.
Eventually I grudgingly conceded there might be something to it,
after being forced to use it about 10 years ago. However I
maintain that my C is much better for having used Pascal.
