Before C was invented, the transferability of code from one programming language to another was not possible. A program on one language could not be transferred from one language to another unless the section of code is completely recreated in the other language. When a programmer decided to create software before C, they would need to choose one programming language to stay on. Though, once C was created, programming languages could easily be compiled and decompiled into different languages, improving productivity in terms of time and transferability ("Programs consist of a sequence of global declarations and function (procedure) declarations," as stated by the article "The Development of the C Language", by Dennis Ritchie.)

Productivity and portability were also at their limits before C was created to solve this. C allowed for function libraries, which are programs made with C, to be downloaded and installed on to a different person’s computer, meaning that software can be distributed to any person on the internet. Function libraries allowed for portability to begin to emerge, because not every person has to program their own software with the use of function libraries. Function libraries are databases in which a programmer can upload a section of code, allowing other programmers to then download the section of code and install it on to their computer. This type of transportation is immensely important to programmers around the globe.

Before C programming was fabricated, circumstances were dire in terms of efficiency and productivity. Compiling and decompiling programming in order to transfer it was not possible, and programming languages did not exist in harmony by allowing for different programming languages to be able to work together. Nobody lead the world of computers to advance and progress, and sort of technology was absurdly expensive, so only groups of people could afford to buy one. The programming languages at the time, such as assembly and binary, were severely primitive. These programming languages required specifically trained specialists to be able to understand the language.

Not only was the time before C programming rudimentary because of poor user adaptability, but there was limited possibilities, due to the lack of introduction to new ideas. Nobody thought of new inventions or expansions that enhanced the world of programming and code, leaving behind a dim world of dull expansion.

Your bait here:

The programming languages at the time, such as assembly and binary, were severely primitive. These programming languages required specifically trained specialists to be able to understand the language.

What exactly is wrong about this? If writing in assembly was all glamorous, how come not many do that now?

It's not true that assembly and binary were the only languages before C, and it's not true that languages before C were primitive. FORTRAN, COBOL, ALGOL, LISP, Simula 67, PL/I, Pascal, BASIC, Prolog, SNOBOL, POP-2, APL, RPG, BLISS, BCPL, and Smalltalk are all older than C.
