Richard C. Secrist <secrist%msdsws.DEC@DECWRL.DEC.COM> writes ("Languages
for an average //e") that there do not seem to be very many new, neat
programming languages for an "average" 128K //e, the IIgs having absorbed
the efforts of the language makers.

I would suggest you take a look at Promal.  It has (in my opinion) most
of the best features of both C and Pascal, and feels like a combination
of the two.  There is a utility program (public domain) that will convert
between C source code and Promal code.  The compiled programs run on
my //e, the IBM-PC, and Commodore (all I've tried them on).  There is a
nice graphics toolkit for the //e, and the others.  No, I don't work
for the company that produces Promal.
