- This article deals with C as it relates to esoteric programming languages. For more general information, see the Wikipedia article on C.
C, while not always a serious language, is far from an esoteric one. It was created by Dennis Ritchie in 1972 and is a derivative of B. As a fast, old and compiled language, C is often used to implement esolangs. For example, bffsree, the fastest known non-JIT brainfuck interpreter, is written in C.
