&quot;&quot;Before C there was assembly language&quot; is technically correct, unless you know something I&#x27;m unaware of.<p>That there were other languages between those two isn&#x27;t important in the context of creating an example in one presentation and it for-sure is not factually wrong.<p>Just so we&#x27;re absolutely crystal-clear here, how, exactly, would you have phrased the paragraph about C, without wandering off into the endless maze of computer language lineages, but keeping the same general intent, in the context of the remainder of the presentation?
