In late 1960, it was a turbulent era of computer science research at Bell Lab. During this period, many scientists were struggling to develop a General Purpose Language which resulted with an invention of ALOGOL60. But it never a good game because it was too abstract and too general. While rectifying the issues with ALOGOL60, a new language was developed at Cambridge Universitycalled Combined Programming Language (CPL) that too wasn't later entertained much for its complex nature and hard to learn. Martin Richard at Cambridge University modified CPL and developed BCPL which was unfortunately declined for its specifications and less powerful performance. Ken Thompson at the same time developed a language called B as the further simplification of CPL but it was also powerful. Then, it was the father of programming language, Dennis Ritchie, who inherited the features of B and BCPL and added some features to develop Language C. However, C was proved to be quite compact and coherent. Ritchie first implemented C on a DEC PDP - 11 that used the UNIX Operating System. This is how C Language got its name as C.
