I think it worthwhile pointing out Xerox PARC efforts to bring their programming environments to UNIX, as they slowly lost the market they could have had. "UNIX Needs A True Integrated Environment: .CASE Closed" http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/xerox/parc/techReports/CSL-89-4... Interlisp-D gets ported to UNIX in 1988 https://interlisp.org/history/timeline/ Cedar gets ported into UNIX in 1989 "Experiences creating a portable cedar" https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/74818.74847 NeXTSTEP and macOS are only thing left from those ideas in modern systems, combing UNIX and Xerox PARC worlds. While there are some of those ideas influenced Windows, via Objective-C => Java => .NET, and Android is what Inferno/Limbo could have been, it is not quite the same as those early ideas how computing should be like. |
