- pjmlp 11y agoYes. Mac OS was initially written in a mix of Object Pascal and Assembly. Even Photoshop 1.0 was, check the available source code. Object Pascal was the inspiration for Turbo Pascal 5.5 OOP extensions. After a few OS releases, UNIX was already getting user in the industry and pressure from users about C compiler availability grew. Apple introduced a new SDK with C and C++ support, including a C++ framework. Afterwards the new OS apis were written in C. Also by this time, Apple did their first attempt at the UNIX market with A/UX.
