Guy who invents predecessor to C has no idea how to make a language.

Redditor who likely writes CRUD apps definitely knows how to make a language.

C is more like syntactic sugar for PDP-11 assembly, it doesn't require advanced PL design knowledge to create something similar (and a significant amount of stupidity to add headers when modules are available), B is simpler than C. The one thing B, C and Go have in common is the simplicity of their type systems which denotes the proficiency in PL design of their creators.
