"The majority of Lisa programs were written in the Pascal language by Apple with a few programs written in 68000 assembly language. To give an idea of the size of this effort the Lisa operating system was written in around 90,000 lines of Pascal and each Lisa program (eg LisaWrite) contained somewhere around 50,000 lines each."
Like others in this thread, I learned Pascal early on and was befuddled by C for a long time. I wrote some Pascal on my Apple //e, played with Lisa (had access thru work), completely missed the Mac boat, cut my teeth on TurboPascal. Gods, I loved Borland.
The Lisa's OS was written in Pascal.
