could point out that the language was actually invented by Apple Computer,
and at its peak had millions of users, dozens of printed books, its own
forums on several online services, and produced thousands of utilities and
programs over the years. Some were better than others, but that was because
the language was so easy that children wrote with it, but also so
sophisticated that programmers produced award-winning products. When Apple
discontinued support, the language lived on in via a third-party port to
Linux, and was eventually taken up by RunRev, expanded tremendously, and is
now extremely powerful under a deceptively simple syntax.
