Ah.. that article just looks like an ad now. Shameful.
> There is no significant way in which I found Pascal superior to C, but there are several places where it is a clear improvement over Ratfor. Most obvious by far is recursion: several programs are much cleaner when written recursively, notably the pattern-search, quicksort, and expression evaluation.
While the author goes about comparing Pascal to C (and Ratfor), he fails to disclose his affiliation with being the author of C.
What Kernighan did do is write the book on C. (You might argue that it's a conflict of interest, too, but it's not. It makes a lot of sense that someone would like a programming language so much that they'd decide to write a book on it.)
Now, the reasons why you created Fossil, that interests me. But this is not the case. It's an ad.
