He asks what I&amp;#x27;m printing. I tell him the C compiler source code because I want to figure out how it works. He responds &amp;quot;Oh, that&amp;#x27;s ok then, no problem, let me know if you need more paper loaded or a new ribbon&amp;quot;.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Dennis Ritchie’s first C compiler (c. 1972)</title><url>https://github.com/mortdeus/legacy-cc</url></story>
