A fair amount of non-game Amiga scene, including the OS, was either BCPL or C.

Sure, when performance didn't matter.

Just like on MS-DOS side, I did plenty of stuff on Turbo BASIC, Turbo Pascal, Turbo C (quickly replaced by Turbo C++), and Clipper, until Windows 3.x and OS/2 came to be.

Small utilities, or business applications, without big resources demands.

Or, where portability did matter. That was still true much later...web servers were often mostly C, then inline ASM for the SSL parts.

By then we were already in Windows 95 and Windows NT territory, with OS/2 still waving on the side, and game developers being shown the door to WinG, DirectX's percusor.

>BCPL

Was used by some parts of AmigaDOS (dos.library) and it is unfortunate.

AFAIK nothing third party uses BCPL.
