Berkeley's C-flavored shell with history and job control — tcsh keeps the line breathing, though POSIX shells won the war.

Created by Bill Joy
Influenced Bash

Bill Joy's C shell (1978) — BSD's interactive shell — brought C-like syntax, history, aliasing, and job control to the Unix command line.\n\nIts scripting was famously cursed ('csh programming considered harmful'), but its interactive features shaped every shell since; tcsh continues it.
