> C is a general-purpose programming language that was originally designed and implemented around 1972 by Dennis Rithie at Bell Labs. Its early growth was closely associated ith the Unix system where it was developed, since both the tern and most of the programs that run on it are written in C.
Three typos in the first two sentences. Was this transcribed? I'm a little suspicious now of the attributed authorship, since I somehow doubt that Dennis Ritchie would misspell his own name.
EDIT: There's this snippet as well at the end:
> In the meantime, C wears well as your experience with it grows. With 15 years of C experience, we still feel that way.
So I'd put it the article's original publication date sometime between 1988 and 1990?
