any assembly features are features of compilers, not the language.
'''C''' is a [[procedural programming|procedural]], [[imperative programming|imperative]] [[programming language]] developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Laboratories. It was a major improvement over 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 was written in C. The syntax of C inspired many later languages such as [[C++]], [[Java]] and [[C Sharp]]. C also supports low-level programming via an integrated inline assembler.
