First point is true. Second point isn&#x27;t: BCPL was created solely because they couldn&#x27;t build an improved ALGOL (CDL) on a 1950&#x27;s computer. Took out every good feature the hunk of junk couldn&#x27;t compile. C was modified BCPL&#x2F;B to do that on a PDP-11 w&#x2F; UNIX a watered-down MULTICS for same reason.<p>A comparison would be LISP 1.x vs modern Scheme or Common LISP. And only using LISP 1.x because you had to work with a microcontroller instead of a PC. ;)
