Re: Pascal ? Really ?

Yes, really.

The Mac was designed from day 1 with a Pascal based toolbox. Just check out any of the original "Inside Macintosh" publications - it's almost 100% Pascal based.

It was simple, structured and elegant (as Pascal is - but I admit a bias there) but it also had some of the limitations inherent with pascal development.

For the Mac history buffs out there, check out the original (interpreted) Mac Pascal, Lightspeed/ThiNK Pascal and the classic Turbo Pascal (yes, there was one for the Mac).
