Page "Array data structure" Paragraph 8

Assembly languages generally have no special support for arrays, other than what the machine itself provides.

The earliest high-level programming languages, including FORTRAN ( 1957 ), COBOL ( 1960 ), and ALGOL 60 ( 1960 ), had support for multi-dimensional arrays, and so has C ( 1972 ).

In C ++ ( 1983 ), class templates exist for multi-dimensional arrays whose dimension is fixed at runtime as well as for runtime-flexible arrays.
