BCPL, which stands for "Basic Combined Programming Language," is an early programming language designed for writing system software and applications. It was developed in the mid-1960s by Martin Richards at the University of Cambridge. BCPL is notable for its simplicity and was designed to be a portable language for writing operating systems and other system-level software. The language provides a minimalist syntax and a small set of features, making it relatively easy to learn and use.
