The “SIBO” family name stood for “SIxteen Bit Organiser” and the improved version of the OPL language (with window and focus controls) was at the root of what was later sold as the Symbian operating system, which until 2010 was the most widely used OS in smartphones, being at 2011 displaced by Google’s Android OS. This change was more significant than appeared at the time. The consumer level ‘high’ programming language still shares features with OPL, but the developer toolkits were from then on focused on programmers familiar with C and only the Symbian operating system remains.
