Has that stopped everyone before? Java, C#/.NET, Swift and probably more started out as closed-source languages/platforms, yet seemed to have been deployed to production environments before their eventual open-sourcing.

I guess the summary is that neither Java [at the time] nor .NET were profit centers for their owners, nor their only reason for existing
IDEs, implementations for embedded and phones, were all paid products, IDEs by developers or their employers, the others by OEMs.
My point is the early days, JCafe, Visual Age, Visual Studio, Forte, before free beer IDEs for them became common.
Java side with Eclipse/Netbeans, .NET side with the Visual Studio Express editions.
