Re:Switching to C over 'Modern' Programming Languages by pjmlp on Thursday April 13, 2023 @03:09PM (#35560558)
There were enough languages for systems programming outside Bell Labs, all the way back to 1958.

It is a urban myth that C was the first one, usually pushed by naturally UNIX folks.

JOVIAL, ESPOL, NEWP, PL/I, PL/S, PL.8, PL/M, Bliss, Mesa, Modula-2, VMS Basic, VMS Pascal,...
