The thing about B being typless is
x[y] and y[x] are the sme
also this is legal
auto x[20]; x-=10;
/* Array -10 to +9 */ and later reuse the variable fr loops
for(x=0;x<100;x++)
Finally there is this
suprise() { printf=scanf }
and yes it changed all the calls (on the L66 anyway)

B is a simplified language based on BCPL (based on CPL). For a long time the question of successor to C was would it be 'D' or 'P'. We are still waiting to find out
The sort of survivor of B in its original form, tho its now mutated a lot - is AWK
