Interesting, I never realized this connection:
A NeXT Computer was used by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN to develop the world's first web server software, CERN HTTPd, and also used to write the first web browser, WorldWideWeb. This workstation became the world's first web server on the Internet.

- scrod 16y agoAs mentioned elsewhere in this discussion, the first web browser was indeed written in Objective-C, using the AppKit framework.
- zandorg 16y agoSo as NeXT founder, Steve Jobs was indirectly responsible for HTML? Of course, Marc Andreessen was responsible for images and also porting the NeXT code to Windows/MacOS.
