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 decided the ()'s are tacky, and moved it to C programming language. Jnc (talk) 15:47, 16 March 2018 (CET)
Dialects
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, to the extent some milestones can be found in a continuum. I'll make a stab at it. Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 08:44, 19 August 2021 (CEST)
