Sorry to drag this topic on...
Borland made a cheap Pascal compiler in the 80's. Later they added OOP
support to it which then turned into Delphi, using Apple's spec for OOP
Pascal as a base.
The first version of PhotoShop was written in this Object Pascal before
Object Pascal later became Delphi.
IDK what the current version of Photoshop is written in but as you can
see the number one "Killer App" on your list wasn't originally written
in ANY flavor of C. Just like ALL major applications it has been
reworked and ported more often then the programmers would have liked.
If this same "Killer App" question was applied to Borland's original
Turbo Pascal compiler instead of asking which is the better tool for
the job then we would probably still be using MegaShaft's old compilers
and than where would we be now.
