(I'm "Sebastian".) It meant to read C. It definitely wasn't C++. However, now I'm curious if I'm confusing it with the later Amiga games. I'll need to look into this. I was 8 years old at the time. :) Note that this was for hobby projects many years after the original launch of those products - not mainstream dev.

C/C++ was much more common on the Amiga, although even C++ was rare until later in the Amiga's lifecycle.

Yeah I kinda wondered if the article author messed something up. :-)

Probably your dad was doing C on the Amiga. C on the C64 wasn't really a thing. Nor was C++ on the Amiga, really.
