"It's just easier to type" and other lies you believe
Seriously though, why? Is there historic reasons for that? Did they have to pay extra for more letters back in the day?
Yes. Memory and storage were at a very high premium until the 1990s, and when C was first being developed, it wasn’t uncommon for computers to output to printers (that’s why print() and co are named what they are), so every character was at a premium. In the latter case, you were literally paying in ink and paper by the character. These contributed to this convention that we’re still stuck with today in C.
Wait, but they didn't print out the source code right? Or did they use teletypes to develop?
Basically yeah. ed the editor was designed with that in mind
Oh, that makes a lot of sense then.
After all, it is the standard text editor

uff, doesn't feel right if it isn't KasaneTeto saying this :/
