Knowing what we do by observing the standardization process for Pascal
and Ada, I think we can reasonably conclude that it is a tremendously
difficult task to unambiguously define a nontrivial programming
language in less than 5 years.

Since ANSI C is not just a fixed K&R C, but is actually an evolutionary
step (some say up, some say down) away from it, it clearly hasn't had
enough time yet.
