• Bon 1969

    From James Harris@21:1/5 to All on Thu Oct 21 20:31:24 2021
    Bon was an early design by Ken Thompson (predating B). References are
    hard to locate. Even Wikipedia lacks a page for it. But I found the
    following user's manual.

    This is nice, thanks James. I haven't heard of Bon and has some interesting concepts such as the tuple operations.
