Yeah :)

It's the best of the IIGS BASICs. Whether it's the best language to get
depends on whether you're willing to learn Pascal or C.

As for Micol, the language itself is fairly robust. My biggest argument with
it is that not enough time has been devoted to the shell .. although it'll
look great to you if you're coming from Applesoft BASIC. And Micol is highly
responsive to its customers .. as good as or better than Byte Works, if more
limited in resources.
