The origin of C++ is 'C with Classes', which was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup between 1978 and 1983, at which point the name changed to C++. Bjarne originally developed 'C with Classes' as an extension to C, chiefly adding object-oriented programming to the language along with other extensions. He chose C as the basis for the language because it was one of the most popular languages at the time, and was fast, portable and general purpose. However the OOP extensions were inspired primarily by Simula, as well as other languages including ALGOL 68, Ada, CLU and ML.
