Re: C Language Inventor Spurns Google's Language Exam
I'm sure C changed at least a little since the 70s and who knows how rusty he is. When I stop programming Perl for just a few months I dread going back to it because I feel rusty. And maybe the test would show his skill at programming which is a little different than proficiency with the language.
