Nir Lichtman demonstrates the B programming language, the predecessor to C, showing its syntax and compiling a simple program.

In this video I will make a short demonstration of the B Programming Language, this language came before C and is quite similar. Docs: - bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/kbman.html The B compiler implementation I used in the video is not maintained anymore and has a build problem so I made a fork that fixes this over here: github.com/nir9/b-compiler The original maintainer has a newer version of this project that is maintained but I haven't checked it out.

Why it's here

What people say. Recommended as an interesting demonstration of the historical B programming language from 1969.
