The typeless nature of B made sense on the Honeywell, PDP-7 and many older computers, but was a problem on the PDP-11 because it was difficult to elegantly access the character data type that the PDP-11 and most modern computers fully support.
A natureza sen tipos de B tiña sentido no Honeywell, na PDP-7 e moitas outras computadoras antigas, pero foi un problema na PDP-11 porque era difícil acceder a tipos de carácteres de datos que a PDP-11 e a maioría de computadoras modernas soportaban.
