I'm aware of two ProDOS-based versions of Pascal:

1. Apple's "Instant Pascal", which is an interpreted environment.

2. Kyan Pascal.  I've never even seen it, but I believe it is a
traditional compiler.

Some other language options:

- Logo.
- C (Aztec C, HyperC).
- Assembly language (lots of options).
- A better variant of BASIC (was there a product called Z-Basic?).

If you have a IIgs, you have many more options (all running natively
under GS/OS or ProDOS-16), including the ORCA languages (C, Pascal,
Modula-2), APW C, HyperCard IIgs, a few more BASIC variants, at least
one other Pascal compiler, etc.
