Subject: [TUHS] First C compiler outside Bell Labs?
Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2021 11:19:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7wa6pzx0as.fsf@junk.nocrew.org> (raw)

Hello,

Which was the first C compiler written outside Bell Labs?

I have a candidate in mind.  Alan Snyder interned at Bell Labs in 1973.
Later at MIT, we wrote a C compiler for the PDP-10.  This would have
been 1974-1975.
