- pg314 4y agoThe 2018 ISO standard [1] is 520 pages. Not what I would consider small. Nor is it simple. The integer promotion rules and undefined behaviours will trip up even experienced C programmers. Something like R5RS for Scheme (50 pages or so) is what I think of when I hear small and simple.
