"A new release of Plan 9 happened in June, and at about the same time a new release of the Inferno system, which began here, was announced by Vita Nuova."
Time
"C was already implemented on several quite different machines and OSs, Unix was already being distributed on the PDP-11, but the portability of the whole system was new."
Being

Now
"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."
Success
"Obviously, the person who had most influence on my career was Ken Thompson."
Career
"C++ and Java, say, are presumably growing faster than plain C, but I bet C will still be around."
Will
"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."
Advice
"The visible things that have come from the group have been the Plan 9 system and Inferno, but I hasten to say that the ideas and the work have come from colleagues."
Work
"At least for the people who send me mail about a new language that they're designing, the general advice is: do it to learn about how to write a compiler."
People
