If you hadn't mentioned IBM, I would've guess this was Bell Labs, Unix and C.

IBM has built several operating systems and programming languages and compilers over the years. Probably more than Bell Labs, actually. It's not so surprising.

Unix and C is more known, so that would be my assumption too. In fact I can't name any IBM made OSes or programming languages.

Aix and z/os are popular operating systems by ibmsl still in use, not counting things like system/36. Lime is a research pl at I'm, there is also apl which was made at Harvard and later at ibm.

I can name a half dozen without googling. But, I'm kinda old and I remember when IBM was the dominant force in computing at nearly all levels.
