C is a programming language that was designed by Dennis Ritchie during the early 1970s to be used for operating system implementation and other low-level programming tasks. |
C became immensely popular outside Bell Labs after about 1980 and is now the dominant language in systems and microcomputer applications programming. It is a staple of the Open Source community. |
C became immensely popular outside Bell Labs after about 1980 and was for a time the dominant language in systems and microcomputer applications programming. It remains so as a systems programming language, and is a staple of the Open Source community. |
Bjarne Stroustrup and others at Bell Labs worked in the late 1980s to add object-oriented programming language constructs to C, creating a language called C++ (thus avoiding the issue of whether the successor to "B" and "C" should be "D" or "P"). |

C++ is now the most common language used for commercial applications on Microsoft Windows systems, though C remains more popular in the Unix world. |
