A famous rant ignoring Pascal dialects, while C still lacked a standard and was a bunch of dialects all over the place.

I've never seen a C dialect, other than not supporting bit fields. The language was usually the same although the libraries were all over the place.

Then you haven't used any C compilers during the CP/M, 8-bit and 16-bit days.

Here are two, RatC, Small-C.

Additionally what do you think GCC C is, in regards to K&R C and ANSI C?
