forger of UNIX and C give To: everything balderdash

In of/ one announcement, which The Computerindustrie baffled, having Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie and Brian Kerningham
zugegeben, that the of them created Betriebssystem UNIX and the Programming-Language C one niftier Aprilscherz
are, the itself over 20 years on the life receive has. with one talk to the last UnixWorld-software-Entwicklungsforum
revealed Thompson:

1969 having AT&T straight The work on the GE/Honeywell/AT&T-Multics-proposition exits. Brian what about me
experimentierten to the Time with of/ one early Pascal-Version of Professor Niklaus Wirth of
ETH-laboratory in the switzerland and were beeindruckt from his Simplicity and Mächtigkeit. Dennis having
straight The mr the sound red, a spöttische parody on Tolkiens large Triologie The mr the rings.

in the Übermut beschlossen we, Parodien to Multics-surroundings and To Pascal To verfassen. Dennis what about me were
for Betriebssystemumgebung Responsible. we saw us Multics on and designed one new system,
the so komplex and kryptisch How possible his ought to, around the frustration the gelegentlichen User To maximize.
we named it Unix in allusion on Multics and found it neither gewagter as others Verballhornungen.
thereafter developed Dennis and Brian a really perverse Pascal-Version namens A. as we noticed, that
some people objectively try, in A to program, fügten we quick some additional Fallstricke hinzu
and named it B, BCPL and finally C. we heard so on, as we a tidy Translation the subesquent
structure sustained:
Compile Mark Separation

for(;P(
),R--;P(!))for((e=C;e--;P(_+(*u++/8)%2))P( | +(*u/4)%2)

The thought, that moderne Programmer a Language using would, The such a instruction zuließ, lying
ulterior ours Vorstellungsvermögens. we thought though on it, everything whom Sowjets for sale, circa ihren
Computerfortschritt 20 years and More To hinder. our Überraschung was big, as then AT&T and others
US-venture objectively began, Unix and C To use! you've 20 further years used,
sufficient Experience To collect circa some bedeutungslose programs in C to develop, and with the of/ one
parody on The engineering the 60it years! nevertheless are we beeindruckt from the Hartnäckigkeit (if not still
Gemeinsinn) the commonly Unix- and C-Anwenders. anyway having Brian, Dennis what about me into last
years only in Pascal on one Apple macintosh program, and we feel us Real due on the chaos,
the Verwirrung and the really nauseous Programmierstil, the of unserem verrückten Einfall to so langer
Time ausging.

Namhafte Unix- and C-suppliers and user, including AT&T, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, GTE, NCR and DEC
having temporary each Stellungnahme abgelehnt. Borland international [...] meant, tappt im dunkeln hätten this suspicion already since
years gehegt and would now moreover pass over, your Pascal-Products To improve, and further endeavours around the
C-development stop. One IBM-spokesperson broke in unkontrolliertes laughter from.
