Is the second point really true? Based on what credentials
should I use a programming language designed by Ken Thompson?
What is Thompson best known for: hacking on operating system code in
machine languages, and in typeless predecessor to C that serves as a
higher level assembler.
From that we know that he is excellent at ensuring that two independent
execution contexts don't stomp on each other, and that a buffer of bytes
goes to the correct piece of hardware in the correct sequence and
without undue delay, all with minimal help from the programming tools.
Does that translate to programming language design pedigree?
