[a-bit-of-code]

Is it just me that thinks that the article is a [skilfully drafted] joke (or parody or whatever the correct word is)? The fact that it has been published close to April 1st raises more suspicions.

My interpretation would be rather that the C language is a carefully drafted joke or parody.
