Except it wasn't the third. It was like something between the 50's and low 100's. There were lots of languages then, most being unpopular.

C was just intended to be third in that very specific lineage, and I wouldn't be surprised to find it wasn't really third and just making the claim with its name.

Not to mention several more advanced than C, Go, or even Rust... (Lisp, for one, Smalltalk for another)

Well, it depends on what you mean by advanced, and if you're just considering the language or language plus compiler/runtime, but I take your point, and mostly agree with it.
