C was originally developed as a systems programming language by Kernighan and Ritchie at Bell Labs in the early 1970s, and was used as an implementation language for the Unix operating system. It has been described as a high-level assembly language by its critics. An ANSI standard for C was ratified in the early 1980s, and it remains one of the most widely used languages around.
