| COMTRAN (precursor to COBOL) | 1957 |
| LISP | 1958 |
| ALGOL 58 | 1958 |
| FACT (forerunner to COBOL) | 1959 |

| Speakeasy (computational environment) | 1964 |
| BASIC | 1964 |
| PL/I | 1964 |
| JOSS | 1966 |
| BCPL (forerunner to C) | 1967 |
C is imperative language and designed to compile in a relatively straightforward manner which provides low-level access to the memory. With the gradual increase in the popularity of the program, the language and its compiler has become available on a wide range of platforms from embedded micro-controllers to supercomputers.
With the introduction of K&R C language (which is a new edition of C published in 1978 by Brian Kernighan and Denis Ritchie), several features have been included in C language.
Some of these features are:
During the late 1980’s , C was started to use for wide variety of mainframe computers, micro and mini computers which began to get popular. Gradually C got its superset – i.e. C++ which has added features, but its developed from C with all its initial concepts.
