IBM C 3.0 came just before OS/2 1.0 as far as I'm able to recall. The

shortly after the XT was launched.

Erm, you seem to have left out BASIC, one version
of which didn't
require you to have disks to use (ROM BASIC); however, that was
probably more useful on the 5150 PC than the 5160 PC/XT since the PC
had a cassette interface you could use with it, which the XT lacks.
Well I don't consider BASIC a programing langauge ... I consider it a
curse on mankind.
I had forgot about BASIC but I was thinking of langauges that came on a
floppy.
I don't think C came out until after the AT.
