Perhaps (I do mean perhaps) MicroSoft Basic is a better prototyping environment.
As a matter of fact, the basic runs on lots of different CPUs, is about the same
age as Unix, and can even be compiled.  With newer and better computers
becoming available, the language has become quite powerful, including such high
level constructs as windows and graphics primitives.

Sounds like these 'C' shells are real good at prototyping 'C' programs.

P.S.  I do not program in basic, but I am aware that the MicroSoft Basic
interpreters and compilers exist.
