So K&R C wasn't proper C?

  It predates the first standardized C versions: * ANSI C by 11 years (C89) * ISO C by 12 years (C90) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(programming_language)#K&R_C https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(programming_language)#K&R_C

    So strange. Someone invented a computer language called C and is not proper C until it is stabdardised by a committee. I would say the original C is proper C. Got a whole operating system to run with it. Organisation is nothing if we do not accept individual’s role.

      The C language as invented for porting UNIX does not fit into a NES, nor does it expose its hardware capabilities.

  Not the subset you can fit onto a 6502, thus that subset fits the same purpose as K&R C, a portable macro assembler, calling into functions that are written in raw Assembly, compiled by an external macro Assembler. And good luck making good use of 6502 registers for C code.
