What competing OSes/languages do you think might have/should have surpassed Unix and C?
- pjmlp 1y agoVMS could have been one, for example. PL/I variants were being widely used, Apple was a Pascal fan, and is the company that actually created Object Pascal, not Borland. Modula-2 was around as well, unfortunely without an OS to go to market alongside it. The real question is, all things on equal footing regarding price, without access to source code to just type in/copy, what operating systems would people be willing to pay for.
