Pascal was originally developed as a teaching language, with features that militate in favor of clear code and against tricky programming. As it happens, many programmers take great pride in the tricks they can do in other languages, particularly C,...

Earlier versions of this program (called, variously, Lightspeed Pascal and Think’s Lightspeed Pascal) were already outstanding products, noted for fast compilation speed and a slick Project facility. Because Pascal is a natural choice for a...

Since the appearance of Smalltalk more than a decade ago, developers have looked for a way to combine the clear advantages of object-oriented programming — design clarity and code reusability — with the efficiency of optimized...

The Macintosh world has needed this product for several years. The C++ language has been the emerging development standard on most other computer platforms, and while Apple’s MPW (Macintosh Programmer’s Workshop) version of CFront (a...

Lisp was designed to give the programmer the freedom to redefine functions and objects on the fly without restarting the computer or recompiling the code. This flexibility is probably the main reason artificial-intelligence researchers love the...

As Sun Microsystems and Microsoft battle over language details, Mac programmers are watching Java's original promise — "write once, run anywhere" — degenerate into “write once, run screaming in frustration."...

As operating systems evolve, programming tools must evolve along with them. That’s been a difficult task this past year, with Mac OS 8, Rhapsody, Yellow, and Blue Boxes, and the rise of Java as a main¬ stream language. But...
