The page currently says "the original was K&R C".  That's not true, as there were language revisions before the K&R book published in 1978.  And the page even links to [[Typesetter C]].  I suggest making a more detailed list of C dialects.  I'll make a stab at it.

Page name

Should we move this to C (language), just to make it a bit more explicit? If we leave a redirect at C, we can look for articles which link to it, and fix them to come directly here. Jnc (talk) 14:59, 7 August 2017 (CEST)

I'm all for it. Tor (talk) 15:30, 7 August 2017 (CEST)
OK, done (I'll fix all the pages that link here). Jnc (talk) 15:54, 7 August 2017 (CEST)
