This makes me feel very old. I remember that issue. I was a Pascal snob at the time but interested because C had a reputation for speed. A year later I got my first job and read K&R, not realizing I would be using C and C++ for most of my career. It mentions Lattice C. Does anybody here remember if Microsoft C was a fresh start, or did they license the entire codebase and use it for a start? I used Lattice on both PC and Amiga, but quickly dumped it on Amiga in favor of Aztec C, for which I still have fond memories. It was much faster and produced a ASM file intermediary which was useful for figuring out how to optimize. Nostalgia is a powerful drug. I’m sure I’d blanche with horror having to develop with those tools today.
