As is Bliss, of course. If you want a high level
language, use
Pascal. If you want one suitable for system programming, there's
Modula-2 (which was used by DEC for that purpose).
It's nice to finally hear Modula-2 in approving tones; I hear too many whines
about it. I've done some useful programming in Modula-2 and for old Mac
programming, the MacMeTH M-2 compiler generates wonderful code, small
executables, and good compatibility with System versions going back as far
as 1.1. (!)
