Chipmunk Basic 3.5.2
Chipmunk Basic is a freeware old-fashioned Basic Interpreter, accelerated for the PowerMac, yet still compatible with old 68k Macs running System 6. Features include support for a simple sprite graphics engine, sound, MacinTalk speech, MacTCP, AppleScript, Drag&Drop and OOP programming. Every personal computer should come with a simple, easy to learn, programming language. Chipmunk Basic was my contribution for the very first PowerMacs. This version is a both bug fix and new feature release. It is still free for educational and non-commercial distribution and use (but only for those who don't believe that using the BASIC language causes brain damage. :-)

Clean 1.2.4
Clean is a general purpose, higher order, pure and lazy functional programming language for the development of sequential, parallel and distributed real world applications. Clean is a language in the spirit of other modern lazy functional languages like Haskell and Miranda. People familiar with these languages will have no difficulty to program in Clean. The Clean compiler has the nice property that it runs on small platforms (Mac, PC, Sun), while it compiles very quickly and produces code of state-of-the-art quality.

Frontier 4.2.3
Frontier is a scripting environment for the Macintosh. It is similar in power to AppleScript, and has plenty of features, making it ideal for use as a back-end to your web site or other high demand setup. And best of all, it's completely free, thanks to Dave Winer of Userland Software!

MKLinux DR2.1
MKLinux is a version of Linux, the freely distributable Un*x workalike. It does not run on 68K machines, but it does runs on most PPC machines. If you've wanted to delve into an alternate OS for your Mac, MKLinux is a great place to start. It will also give you a feel of what's down the road, with Rhapsody and the like. To install MKLinux, you'll need a dedicated hard drive with at least 400 megabytes free, preferably lots more. But hard drives are pretty inexpensive these days.

PowerFantasm™ 4.19a
PowerFantasm is a very fast assembly language development system. It allows you to work with both 68k and PowerPC assembly laguage. PowerFantasm will only run on 68020 and higher machines (i.e. 020, 68030, 68040, and all PowerPC machines). Updated for MacOS 8.

PowerLisp 2.01
PowerLisp is a Common Lisp development environment for the Macintosh. It consists of a Common Lisp interpreter, native-code PowerPC compiler, native code 680x0 compiler, PowerPC and 680x0 macro assemblers, disassemblers, incremental linker and multi-window text editor. It requires a 68k Macintosh with at least a 68020 processor and system 7.0 or later, or any PowerMac. About 4 megabytes of RAM are required to run it, and to do much with it you need more like 5 or 6 megabytes. Like any Common Lisp system, the more memory the better. PowerLisp 2.01 is faster than previous versions of PowerLisp, has some new features, and many bugs fixed. The Common Lisp implementation is closer to the ANSI standard than previous versions.

SmallEiffel 0.4.8
SmallEiffel is a free Eiffel compiler. It is the fruit of a research project done at CRIN (Centre de Recherche en Informatique de Nancy). SmallEiffel is intended to be a complete, though small and very fast Eiffel compiler. It is already used by students of the University Henri Poincare' at Nancy (FRANCE).
