I'm fairly sure Thompson wrote it on sabbatical in Berkeley. I think he also wrote the first version of a Pascal compiler. Pascal isn't a difficult language but I remember that compiler having an unusual style. I think others reworked it significantly later, so if it's there at all it's worth looking at the earliest possible one.
