home the point that LMW is not the entire world. (LMW =
linux, mac, windows)
Many, many counter-examples obviously.
VAX/VMS started out as almost all MACRO-32 and BLISS-32 plus
a bunch of non-native stuff that came in from RSX-11 and ran
in compatibility mode (does that count?).
Server software makes me think IBM - I bet that much of the original
360 software wasn't in C!
