Ya gotta start somewhere, and just about every IC starts at some point with C.

IC?

  • Integrated Circuits.

    • Integrated circuits don't "start with C". What does that even mean? C is just an interchangeable language the compiler frontend parses.

      A microprocessor starts by executing the machine code at the reset vector. This machine code is generated by an assembler or a compiler backend. It has no idea what programming languages are.
