C and printf have been around for at least 35 years (counting from the
appearance of the K&R book in 1978).
Also, printf formats in C derive from the ones in BCPL. See WRITEF in
http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/clive-on-bcpl.html
BCPL was created in 1966; the BCPL book by Richards and Whitby-Strevens
dates from 1980 and I can't find an earlier document that describes WRITEF.
