Not so fast! Complexity/Simplicity can talk about many
things.

  Complexity of implementation
  Complexity of formal definition
  Complexity of informal definition
  Complexity of learning language
  Complexity of programs written in the language

Often these are in direct competition. For example, adding
exceptions as a primitive feature can complicate the
definition and implementation, but it may very well
simplify programs written using this feature.

K&R C is NOT a reference manual, the proper comparison is
the ANSI C standard vs the Ada standard. There is nothing
LIKE a factor of 10 in this. By comparison with either of
these standards, K&R is simply an informal description.
Note that this comparison is on just one dimension, namely
complexity of informal/formal definition.

As for the size of the compilers, you were at that time not
looking at modern optimizing compilers. If you repeat this
experiment with modern optimizing compilers, you will find
that for all the languages, the majority of the complexity,
and weight of the compiler is in the optimizer. For
example, even when using the GNAT front end, there are more
lines of code in the gcc backend than in the front end. So
you couldn't even reach a factor of 2 in that context.

And of course this also measures only ONE of the components
of complexity, namely complexity of implementation.

Now let me guess. The last time you looked at machine
language was in the 80's, right? Yes, in those days, the
semantics of machine language was pretty simple.

I am afraid that things have changed. At this stage the
full execution semantics of a modern chip with extensive
instruction-level parallelism is remarkably complex along
ALL the dimensions I mention above. A chip like the Pentium
II, if you include efficiency issues, which are indeed not
fully documented publicly, let alone formally specified,
you have something far MORE complicated than any of the
languages we are talking about here.

Well barely ...
