"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
"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
"UNIX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity."
Genius
"Any editing, software work, and mail is done in this exported Plan 9."
Work
"C++ and Java, say, are presumably growing faster than plain C, but I bet C will still be around."
Will
"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
"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
"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
"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."
