B: The Programming Language That Inspired C

[@diegobellani]

It is the first real life demonstration of B that I've ever seen. Until now I've only read about it on ancient UNIX history. Would be cool to implement some real program with it.

If I were your Enter key I would run.

[@nirlichtman]

😂

[@854Daryl]

I came here to comment how very aggressive his ENTER was, but you beat me to it.

[@EvanFerrao]

I feel really sorry for that Enter key :(

[@JamieBainbridge]

Cool, I've read about all this but it's nice to see it actually done.

[@luke-il5nr]

Now do a video on A language

[@AshNonokPlays]

Nice one!

[@tauhidershadKUFNAFLORAN]

@@luke-il5nr E!

[@tomaszkantoch4426]

Not too many people know there was an A++ programming language.

[@BurrtoDaApe]

Aight wheres A ?

[@Proverbs9v10]

Are you able to assist? I'm having trouble compiling it because the makefile is telling me that there are multiple definitions of variables defined such as 'hahtab', 'hshused', etc...

[@nirlichtman]

I used a hacky solution of passing -Xlinker -z muldefs in the cc command in the Makefile so it ignores multiple definitions, but this is very bad practice, I am now working on a pull request to fix this in the code

[@nirlichtman]

I updated the description of this video with more information about how to fix this

[@jacksonlevine9236]

*Types troublingly slow* *Slams enter key*

[@intazoid]

Me.

[@EdKolis]

There's also a language called D, but it never really took off.

[@kvelez]

Great.

[@hermicks]

Everyone wondering where's A but nobody got the answer because we're all a product of A

[@demulizer]

isn't Assembly supposed to be A ?

[@hermicks]

@@demulizer no idea my friend

[@costelinha1867]

From B to C. Proving that indeed, programmers suck at naming stuff.

[@falsechord]

not as bad as mathematicians

[@andrewdunbar828]

It's just a glorified BCPL

[@nirlichtman]

Yah it's based upon BCPL but has different syntax and was simplified so it could fit on mini computers memory (BCPL was for mainframes)
