Its interesting Sampsa never programmed with a "white book" C compiler --hey -

and Brian were writing it]. That said, I suspect if you grew up with "modern" C,
the original would feel a tad naked.
I think I might be one of the younger members here - I did read the "white book"
in my spare time but i never actually wrote any code for a compiler that used that
syntax..And I'm not exactly a millenial..
