Line 46:
I think we need to lose the "to write Unix". Then the sentence makes sense and is in agreement with B history as remembered by Dennis Ritchie. [[Special:Contributions/198.142.19.55|198.142.19.55]] ([[User talk:198.142.19.55|talk]]) 16:13, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
:I agree. Dennis Ritchie's ''<[http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/dmr/chist.html The Development of the C Language]> '', states that, "While wanting to use a higher-level language, he [Thompson] wrote the original Unix system in PDP-7 assembler." This is not consistent with the information on this page. Therefore I think changing the sentence to, "Ken Thompson wrote B basing it mainly on the BCPL language he had used in the Multics project.", is justifiable. ctype.h 18:09, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
