Didn't he admit at one point that it was mostly Dennis Ritchie who did the most important stuff for C?

Yes. Kernighan only worked on BCPL.

C 2 didn't really pan out, classical second-system effect.
Maybe he could take the lessons he learned, tone it back a little, and design C 3 as a true C successor.

Forgetting C probably improved his programming skills more than anything else.

That seems like a good website.
What is your opinion of that website generally?

It looks like it hasn't completely succumbed to enterprise/brogrammer/webscale shillware yet.

hit and miss. the host can be a bit douchey imo but he keeps the conversation moving along as best he can. every now and then he'll get a really quality guest like Kernighan, I also like his interviews with Matthew Flatt of Racket fame and with one of the guys from Jane Street.

Kernighan is getting old!
