Actually I pointed that out; the original
Finder/System was probably
written in Pascal and assembly from what I understand.
I think the source is online for something like System 1.
However, MacOS X is what most people think of as
"Mac" these days and
that's got a C heritage.
How much is C, and how much is Objective-C? I honestly have no idea,
but as
it has run on 68k, x86, x64, Sparc, and PA-RISC, I doubt there is
little if
any Assembly Language in there.
Thought for the day. I Love the Mac, and I hate Windows, so why do I
prefer
to write software for Windows. :-(
