I have often wondered what the inspiration for the C
Language was. BCPL
-> MCPL -> B -> c, quite an interesting list of languages.
I don't think MCPL is in there; B was directly inspired by BCPL. See Dennis
M. Ritchie, "The Development of the C Language":

I got the impression from the previous discussion that MCPL was a later
branch.
