The bad language that all successor languages copied?

Edit: spell.

Did you mean predecessor, like the languages that came before it?

Fuck I meant successor

It wasn't bad at the time relative to what else was around.

And I don't even know what you're getting at by saying "all" successor languages copied it. Are you referring to how many languages use curly braces as block delimiters? Because that's not what's wrong with C.
