Mac OS X programs can be written in a variety of languages. Usually, it's C or Java. Mac OS 9 programs tended to be written in RealBASIC, although there were other programming languages / compilers available.

Steve Jobs, like many people in the community, is a huge Unix fan. Since he headed NeXT computers during his hiatus from Apple, his OSes have been built on top of the Berkley Standard Distribution of Unix. This has occasionally led to problems with the GNU Software Project, which has created many useful tools used in most Unix distributions with licensing terms which allow for free distribution so long as you include the source code -- a stipulation Jobs does not like. Unix of course, developed with C, and C has been a major presence in most versions of it. GCC, Gnu's C compiler which is often used these days also has front-ends for C++, Ada, Fortran, Java, Pascal and Object C (a language which was developed on NeXT Computers). This pretty much means there are tools for developing Apple Software in any language you might want to use.

Same as PCs, although specifically I know in the ancient days of Macs the language Pascal rules, its moderately famous variation is Borland Delphi.

there is not any language used for the pc. So i assume you propose for purposes working on the Mac, or perhaps the OS itself? might properly be every physique of numerous languages, alongside with purpose-C or Java. you quite should be extra particular on what you're asking.
