'''Criticism of the C programming language''' refers to critical commentary directed at the [[C (programming language)|C programming language]]. This widely used language first appeared on [[mainframes|larger computers]] but, like [[Pascal (programming language)|Pascal]], soon found its way to [[CP/M]] and [[MS-DOS]] based [[microcomputers]], where it achieved a rapid acceptance in the industry.
