C and C++?

Dennis Ritchie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Ritchie) at Bell Labs developed the C programming language from 1969 to 1973. It is often defined as a general-purpose programming language and is indeed one of the most used languages of all times. It had been used initially to design the Unix operating system (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix) that had numerous requirements, especially high performance.

It has influenced a lot of very well known and used languages such as C++, Objective-C, Java, JavaScript, Perl, PHP, and many others.

C is to both imperative and structured. It is very appropriate for both 8-bit and 64-bit processors, for systems having not only several bytes of memory but also terabytes too, and also for huge projects involving huge teams, to the smallest of projects with a single developer.

Yes, we are going to learn a language that will open your mind to global and universal programming concepts!
