Writing a program for the Mac environment is highly rewarding in terms of
satisfaction and ease of use of the resultant program but, in most COMPILED
languages that I've seen, it requires an ENORMOUS amount of work to initially
create and then maintain the whole Mac environment.
However, several of the INTERPRETERS on the market, notably Microsoft Basic
V2.0 and MacPascal, seem to offer the ability to use windows, controls, menus,
etc. in a rather straightforward manner.
Has anyone seen a COMPILER which performs the same 'ease of programming'
services, hence allowing the programmer to concentrate on his PROGRAM rather
than on the innards of the Mac, while still gaining the execution speed and
independence of a native mode program?
