Something missed out of that great article is that the Lisa efforts contributed to Clascal and the creation of Object Pascal with Nitklaus Wirth blessing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_Pascal

Which eventually got adopted by Borland, giving great projection to one of their engineers, which not only took Object Pascal beyond Apple's original design, ended up creating Delphi, contributing to J++, creation of C#, TypeScript, and influencing other programming languages whose authors got inspired by his work.

Anders Hejlsberg contributions to the computing industry, probably would have taken a different path had Apple Lisa never come to be.

Kind of interesting how these kind of events are all interwined.
