C, as in the programming language? It's the follow up to B, silly! ;-)

So what came before B? A? Not quite. Here's the lineage C follows:

ALGOL 58/IAL -> ALGOL 60 -> CPL -> BCPL -> B -> C

I still like the fact that C++ means C+1. Great geeky humour. :-)

I'm a Pascal programmer, but I can read and understand C as much as I dislike it.  


Kudos for PASCAL!
Amen to that!
