"UNIX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity."
Genius
"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
"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
"C++ and Java, say, are presumably growing faster than plain C, but I bet C will still be around."
Will
"At the same time, much of it seems to have to do with recreating things we or others had already done; it seems rather derivative intellectually; is there a dearth of really new ideas?"
Time
"Any editing, software work, and mail is done in this exported Plan 9."
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
"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
"I can't recall any difficulty in making the C language definition completely open - any discussion on the matter tended to mention languages whose inventors tried to keep tight control, and consequent ill fate."
Control
"The kind of programming that C provides will probably remain similar absolutely or slowly decline in usage, but relatively, JavaScript or its variants, or XML, will continue to become more central."
