Windows Win32 API still uses Pascal calling convention instead of standard C. Shadow from the dead. And also there was the 4th generation language movement at that time, 4GL. Defined by coding like writing English sentences, and not much algo. More akin to our no-code, low-code trend. SQL was also a child from 4GL. C/C++ was then seen as 3GL. And then we can now watch 3GL ultimately took over 4GL, at least until now, for half a century. Tidbits. Corrected: COBOL was 3GL.
