How hard?
Lets see.
Two guys wanted to write an OS.
Seeing current languages not upto their standard they first made themselves a
suitable language.
Would you call their project hard ridiculous and misguided?

Well evidently some people did but fortunately their managers did not interfere.

OTOH some others liked the ideas/outlook enough that they jumped on the bandwagon and in short order there were
- a heavy duty compilation system -- parser generators to librarians etc
- editor(s)
- source code systems
- text tools (grep sed) 
- shell

In short a 'Programmer's Work Bench'

Now if Thomson and Ritchie (yeah thems the guys) could do it in 1970,
why cant we revamp this 45-year old archaic program=textfile system today?
