C (programming language)
1972 AD
A general-purpose computer programming language, created in by Dennis Ritchie, that remains very widely used and influential. By design, C's features cleanly reflect the capabilities of the targeted CPUs.
C is an imperative procedural language supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope, and recursion, with a static type system. It was designed to be compiled to provide low-level access to memory and language constructs that map efficiently to machine instructions, all with minimal runtime support. Despite its low-level capabilities, the language was designed to encourage cross-platform programming. A standards-compliant C program written with portability in mind can be compiled for a wide variety of computer platforms and operating systems with few changes to its source code.
