It's Pascal like syntax. In the 80's there was a very real Pascal vs. C war

Kernighan himself weighs in: http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/bwk-on-pascal.html

Then C, especially old school C can almost be converted into assembly by YACC without a real compiler

I'd be interested to see this, if you have an example - for example how does it manage the stack?

Here is the best example. It does not even need yacc. http://bellard.org/otcc/
