Or, what Jef Raskin would have thought of MacBasic:

https://www.folklore.org/MacBasic.html

Agree w/ the page author's fondness for RealBasic --- still have a copy of _BASIC for Windows 3.0_ which had a copy of it on a floppy disk (and a nifty graphical poker game as an example). Xojo is alive and well, though I haven't been able to justify a license, (diverted to HyperCard and Runtime Revolution which became LiveCode until their opensource rug pull) --- probably going to get PureBasic/SpiderBasic for my next project.

Are Raskin's criticisms of Pascal addressed in Oberon?

Awesome that this page has a running copy, and I'm looking forward to reading the original document.

Turning it around --- what programming language now available would best fit Jef Raskin's ideals? Arguably, Python won --- would the Pythonic way of doing things have won him over?
