One of the most disappointing areas in the Apple II world is its minimal
software development environment.  For the whole Apple II line, only 1 C
compiler and a number of assembers are available - well, I dont know if
Pecan Systems is selling for the non-apple IIgs arena, but if so, that company
may provide a few other languages.

On the other hand, looking at the Amiga/Atari/Mac/IBM PC arena there are dozens,
if not hundreds, of programming languages to chose from, including smalltalk,
lisp, actor, etc. 

Perhaps someone with more ambition than brains <that is a joke folks> would
like to take a crack at porting xlisp (should be available from a ftp site
near you - the only place I could guess would be uunet) from ms-dos to prodos?
