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.
Sure, while all programming languages are turing-strong, not all
should be applied to any problem.
I should like to take this opportunity to once again plug Richard
Gabriel's fascinating essay "The End of History and the Last
Programming Language". It is available on the web somewhere.
