Some interesting stuff you will get out of Dr. Dobbs articles, as someone that was an avid reader.<p>- The Small C compiler set of articles, where you will get the sense not even K&R C was used outside UNIX for quite some time, only a common subset.<p>- The toolbox articles creating a Turbo Vision like framework in Object Pascal<p>- The evolution of Python and related adoption<p>- Strange programing languages like Actor, C@+ (try to search this one nowadays), Sather, BETA<p>- The fashionable compiler benchmarks that used to be quite common back in the day<p>- The evolution of C and C++ at ISO, while their standards were being started<p>- A more heterogenous way of software development, when it wasn't only UNIX clones and Windows.
'"C@+" programming language' query in Kagi returns a single hit from Esolang [0].<p>[0]: <a href="https://esolangs.org/wiki/C@%2B%2B" rel="nofollow">https://esolangs.org/wiki/C@%2B%2B</a>
I think it was C+@ (pronounced CAT, as I recall).
Catplus?<p>Edit: Yandex can search for it! But doesn't seem to find anything relevant.<p>(It also hates such queries and will force you to wait 2 minutes for a captcha to load.. but you get the results after a long wait! As our forefathers once did!)<p>I did find C@ and C@++ though.<p><a href="https://esolangs.org/wiki/C@%2B%2B" rel="nofollow">https://esolangs.org/wiki/C@%2B%2B</a>
A lot of very accessible algorithm articles too. I still remember the article on ternary trees.
> C@+ (try to search this one nowadays)<p>I think not even Wikipedia knows about this (at least with a quick search)
