A brief history of C
·638 words·3 mins
Where C comes from, how it became the language underneath almost everything, and why it is still worth learning.

These are some notes on the C programming language. C is the language underneath most of the tools we use in scientific computing: R, Python and Julia all rely on it, and it is still the go-to choice when a piece of code needs to be fast. Learning it is a great way to understand what our computers are actually doing.
As with the other series, this is a work in progress, and I will be adding new posts as I go.
Hope this is helpful to someone, and enjoy coding! :)
