 		 #142905 - it's not similar to the REAL assembly, of course,
Responding to: ???'s previous message
... this is just an old joke.

C combines the illegibility of assembly with complexity of compiled languages (although the C-fans will tell you otherwise). It's just happened to be PDP-based, and is slightly big-machine-centric (that's why it needs extensions to be of any use at the 8-bit micro world).

Wasn't the non-power-of-two bus width of some of the PDPs the reason why in C you never know what int means?
