Hardware, Embedded Systems After personal computers arrived in the 1970's they went through a series of revolutionary changes delivered by a series of different platforms.

Actually, Apple did both. In particular, Apple wrote the Apple Dylan IDE. The IDE was a very powerful Smalltalk-style development environment for the Dylan language, which was invented in-house at Apple.

Beyond that, they wrote AUX (Apple's UNIX), and at least two OSs for the Newton (a Dylan-based one and a C++ based one), as well as lots of powerful tools for the Newtonscript language.
