C
From DmWiki
C is a popular (if somewhat difficult) programming language that was originally designed by Mr. Kerneghan and Mr. Ritchie as a simple language with a primitive parser. It was originally used to design the UNIX operating system and, as such, was bundled free of charge with that operating system when UNIX was made public.
Despite early popularity throughout the computer industry C has since been superceded almost completely by C++ which, in turn, is being slowly superceded by Java and C#.

- Function-Pointers (http://www.function-pointer.org/) are used to streamline code in ways that would be difficult in C. This also allows some primitive Object-oriented programming features such as inheritance which would not otherwise be possible without using C++ or something newer.
