The conclusion of this is that whatever development environment/language
you select, imo it should be a language that has a recognized Standard and
has compilers from more than one vendor. You then have a core language
with possible vendor-specific and/or OS-specific extensions, but you're
not tied into a single vendor with no real recourse.

Great idea but is that possible for a high level language?

If you stick with ANSI standard C/C++, or (to a lesser extent) Java, it
is mostly doable.
