Something interesting I've spotted is that there is a seperate build option for Windows visible, meaning 4J was likely planning a PC port at some point in time.

I'm not in a position right now to look at the files. What language is it written in? I wonder if Bedrock was branched from this project.

On Wikipedia, 4J is credited with working on Bedrock on the main Minecraft page, but not on the Bedrock page.

Edit: actually, I see on the PS3 legacy console edition page that it says it was written in C++. However, it seems that pocket edition was the source for Bedrock. Perhaps this was a separate branch from pocket edition? I would guess the PC target already existed if that's the case and was mostly used for testing until Bedrock came along and they made PC a full target platform.

Pocket Edition was also written in C++
