C is a [[programming language]] developed in America in the late 1960s and early 1970s, concomitantly with the [[Unix]] operating system. It was a development of the earlier languages BCPL and B.
C is still a popular choice for projects where speed and small program size are important considerations, such as embedded firmware. The [[Linux]] operating system is written in C. The syntax of C inspired many later languages such as [[C++]], [[Java]] and [[C Sharp]].
