I’ll bet the Burroughs B5000 got it right, though. As we all know here, the B5000 did everything right. ;-)

Let me preemptively ;-) make a remark about that - well, not the B5000 but the B6700 I actually worked on. Besides being (sorta) the Mac 128 of its day - built by a small team, odd architecture, no assembler available - it had two related high-level languages: Algol for writing compilers and applications, Espol for writing the basic OS.

Perhaps we can see a far-off day when most iOS/OSX stuff will be written in Swift (including things where C++ is used today), and mostly the low-level stuff will be in C with embedded assembly. Sounds good to me!
