Pike himself says "there's a 6th rule": https://twitter.com/rob_pike/status/998681790037442561?lang=...

(6. There is no Rule 6.)

And points to the best source he finds for it on the web: http://doc.cat-v.org/bell_labs/pikestyle

dang if this sticks to the frontpage, can you change the title to "Rob Pike's 5 rules of programming in C"? As the title is now it misrepresents Rob Pikes words.
