Unix systems programming language 

alternate simple view
Country: United States
Designed 1972
Published: 1972
Genus: CPL, BCPL and B
Sammet category: Multi-purpose

Dennis Ritchie, Bell Labs, ca. 1972.
Originally a systems language for Unix on the PDP-11, briefly named NB.
Influenced by BCPL through Thompson's B.
Terse, low-level and permissive. Preprocessor. Partly due to its distribution with Unix, C became the language most widely used for software implementation.
