2. B (programming language) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B_(programming_language)

   B is a programming language developed at Bell Labs circa 1969 by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie. B was derived from BCPL , and its name may possibly be a contraction of BCPL. Thompson's coworker Dennis Ritchie speculated that the name might be based on Bon, an earlier, but unrelated, programming language that Thompson designed for use on Multics .

   Programming Languages provides a history and description of 120 programming languages, with an extensive bibliography of reference works about each language and sample programs for many of them. [5] The book outlines both the technical definition and usage of each language, as well as the historical, political, and economic context of each ...

4. History of Unix - Wikipedia

   As more of the operating system was rewritten in C (and the C language extended to accommodate this), portability also increased; in 1977, Bell Labs procured an Interdata 8/32 with the aim of porting Unix to a computer that was as different from the PDP-11 as possible, making the operating system more machine-independent in the process.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Richards_(computer...

   Martin Richards (born 21 July 1940) is a British computer scientist known for his development of the BCPL programming language [3] which is both part of early research into portable software, and the ancestor of the B programming language invented by Ken Thompson in early versions of Unix and which Dennis Ritchie in turn used as the basis of his widely used C programming language.

7. Ken Thompson - Wikipedia

   He worked mostly on the language and on the I/O system, and I worked on all the rest of the operating system. That was for the PDP-11, which was serendipitous, because that was the computer that took over the academic community. Feedback from Thompson's Unix development was also instrumental in the development of the C programming language.

8. History of programming languages - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_programming...

   The development of new programming languages continues, and some new languages appears with focus on providing a replacement for current languages. These new languages try to provide the advantages of a known language like C++ (versatile and fast) while adding safety or reducing complexity.
