I don't know what scnr means, but yes, B is literally `C--` as you put it.
Basically B was based on BCPL, a really early systems language. Then B was rewritten as C. The next iteration of C was called C++ as a joke because it's C plus 1. Though there has since been another language created as an evolution of C called D
From what I gather, B never really got much use outside of Bell Labs. But I might have missed some reports on other people using it.
