The You-tubers at Computerphile created a three parter interviewing Brian
Kernighan. They ask him questions received on their Twitter feed. Like
what was the first language he programmed (FORTRAN, damn now I spoiled it
;-), what the hardest challenges were and how he came to C and C++.

Part I <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmYhR8cUX90> runs about eight
minutes. You'll find part two and three there too.
