C
A statically typed programming language. The design goals were minimalism and mirroring bare metal computer architecture, so as to simplify the process of porting C to new platforms. It allows low-level memory management and features a very concise standard library.
Example
A hello world program will look like:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("Hello World!\n");
return 0;
}To compile and run, try:
gcc -o hello hello.c ./hello
History
