http://doc.cat-v.org/bell_labs/new_c_compilers/ (I don't know the
exact date, but this was probably written in the late 80's)
http://cm.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/compiler.html

But I must be having delusions, because everyone knows there were no C
compilers in the universe before God RMS gave us the Golden GCC.

And of course ken never did anything after writing ed... not that
anyone remembers ed anymore, the other day I found the Debian
installer doesn't have ed... but it has nano! oh joy of progress! and
if the linux tty gets seriously confused, oh, nano is so much more
effective at filling your screen with funny characters!
