Did you know all major operating systems and platforms are written using one programming language?

in #life7 years ago

Yes, they are. And the language is C, considered the master of them all. Windows is written in C, MacOs uses Unix which is written in C, Linux is also written in C. Python programming language is written in C. Java virtual machine is written in C. Microsoft Dot Net and SQL Server is written in C. C++ in the beginning was C with classes before it separated. Even C is written in C, Dennis Ritchie (the creator of C) first created the base using assembler then he continued the development of C with it self.

Metallica - Nothing else matters, than what is written in C.

OK, ty.

If you don't know how to program, do you know with what language it is preferable for you to start with?
Yes, the answer is here for you to C it.

Have a great day.

I dont agree that C is the best language to start learning how to program. HTML is so basic and easy to understand. so it should be learnt first.

that's not a programming language, it's a markup language, just for making text layouts...

It's true. I learned basic when I was a kid, it was enough. C was something that cost an inordinate amount of money to have a compiler for back then, and thanks to Richard Stallman, it is now finally free. I read K&R's original book about C. There is still few books as good. The BASIC manual that came with the TRS-80 color computer was very good for my age group.

But I still, at the age of 10-12 was visiting the university library when my mother was busy studying, and voraciously read books about X window system, writing compilers, object oriented programming.

But I just wanted to write C code. It wasn't until I was like 14 there was any free C compilers. The next best thing was a language called Amiga E. It was wonderful, like Go is today. Single fast compiler with inbuilt preprocessor, super simple grammar, and lots of good documentation and examples.

The field has hardly advanced these days except in small ways. It makes me sad. I studied C++ books for a bit, and I thought it was a nice idea, but it's really not. So complicated it makes it hard to maintain.
