ah yes, the language that is so foundational in computing that they decided to name it after the first letter of the alphabet: C
@SuricrasiaOnline I don't know if that is more or less cursed than knowing it was the sequel to B

@SuricrasiaOnline Which of itself is from BCPL

Before Common Programming Language

@SuricrasiaOnline in fairness it would've looked bad to release it when it was still Beta

@SuricrasiaOnline I used to remember why it got called that but had to look it up again just now.

Were there any languages that instructed new special characters for notation post-C? like ALGOL 68 or APL? New stupid esolang idea 🤔
