This is true of the very initial versions of C. My understanding is that it wasn’t really popular until the C compiler was freely given out to universities and later the world. Also, the book (The C Programming Language), effectively an easy-to-read language specification, contributed heavily to independent implementations, as the language filled a hitherto unfilled niche. |
