| In the first half of this talk we go back to the early days of programmable digital computers. We will take a brief look at really old machine code, assembler, Fortran, IAL, Algol 60 and CPL, before we discuss the motivations behind BCPL, B and then early C. We will also discuss influential hardware architectures represented by EDSAC, Atlas, PDP-7, PDP-11 and Interdata 8/32. From there we quickly move through the newer language versions such as K&R C, C89, C99 and C11.\\ | In the first half of this talk we go back to the early days of programmable digital computers.
