Unix Has Retarded Os Research By 10

My Work Was Fairly Theoretical. It Was In Recursive Function Theory. And In Particular, Hierarchies Of Functions In Terms Of Computational Complexity. I Got Involved In Real Computers And Programming Mainly By Being - Well, I Was Interested Even As I Came To Graduate School.

C++ And Java, Say, Are Presumably Growing Faster Than Plain C, But I Bet C Will Still Be Around.

C Is Peculiar In A Lot Of Ways, But It, Like Many Other Successful Things, Has A Certain Unity Of Approach That Stems From Development In A Small Group.

When I Read Commentary About Suggestions For Where C Should Go, I Often Think Back And Give Thanks That It Wasn't Developed Under The Advice Of A Worldwide Crowd.

I'm Still Uncertain About The Language Declaration Syntax.
