+__Standardization__
+
+The first official standard for the language was “ANSI X3.159-1989” or [ANSI C|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_C], also known as “C89” because it was completed in 1989.
+
+This standard was picked up by [ISO] the following year as ISO/IEC 9899:1990, also known as “C90”.
+
+In 1999, a revised standard, ISO/IEC 9899:1999, a.k.a. [C99|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C99], was ratified. A decade later, I don’t think any widely-available compiler yet fully supports all its features, though [GCC] comes close.
