- sneed_chucker 2y agoI would add PHP to the list as well
- thaumasiotes 2y agoIn what sense is perl descended from C?
- hatsuseno 2y agoIn the multiple inheritance sense, but I wouldn't call it a descendant either. Larry "simply" scrounged around in '87 and looked at everything he could to put into his awk-but-better tool. In his own words C was a big part of that, with BCPL in the back of his mind.
- fanf2 2y agoCurly bracket blocks, much of the statement syntax, the operator hierarchy, many of the standard functions.
