Hi there!
Is there such thing as a programing language called "C"? Not C++ or Objective-C....simply C?
Thanks! Paula

39,199 PointsFor some historical context, this just about sums up the impact of C:
Today, C remains the second most popular programming language in the world (or at least the language in which the second most lines of code have been written), and ushered in C++ and Java; while [Thomson and Richie's] work on Unix led to, among other things, Linus Torvalds’ Linux. The work has without a doubt made Ritchie one of the most important, if not under-recognized, engineers of the modern era.
