'''C''' is a general-purpose, [[procedural programming|procedural]], [[imperative programming|imperative]] computer programming language developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at the [[Bell Labs|Bell Telephone Laboratories]] for use with the [[UNIX]] operating system. It has since spread to many other [[:Category:Platforms|platforms]], and is now one of the most widely used programming languages. C has also greatly influenced many other popular languages, such as [[C++]] and [[Objective-C]], which were originally designed as enhancements to C. People are so familiar with its syntax that many other languages such as [[AWK]], [[PHP]], [[Java]], [[JavaScript]], [[D]], and [[C Sharp|C#]] deliberately used its "look and feel". C is the most commonly used programming language for writing system software, though it is also widely used for writing applications. [[C]] is the ''lingua franca'' of the [[open source]] community.
