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.
