It was Pascal and 68K assembly -- which is also what the Macintosh system itself was written in.
"When you're writing desktop software, there's a strong bias toward writing applications in the same language as the operating system." --pg
Would I be correct in assuming Photoshop was converted to C/C++ around the same time that its target platforms were?
- MontagFTB 8y agoI am a Photoshop engineer. Many years ago it was transpiled to C++ that looked very much like Object Pascal. Much of that original legacy survives to this day.
- dvfjsdhgfv 8y agoI had hoped you'd appear in this thread. Do you remember in what years/versions this happened?
- MontagFTB 8y agoI don't know exactly. It was transpiled before I came on the scene, which was 1996. The transition probably happened around the same time the Macintosh OS transitioned from Pascal to C-based APIs, and/or Photoshop was ported to Windows (around the Photoshop 2.5 timeframe.)
