Not sure... Probably would have dragged MacOS classic into the 21st century, and I would have little to do with them...

As a large amount of MacOS classic will have been written in C as well with out Dennis Ritchie MacOS classic may also have failed to come to pass :-)

Actually, it was originally written in assembler and Pascal, I don't think they went C until System 7 or 7.5.

lol, but did they use emacs or vi to write the code as both were written in C if I remember correctly
