Hi there!

Do you know the easiest way to develop software for 68k Macs?
I only know one programming language for them, called AppleScript. Can you recommend another?
 
The basic interpreter for macs should be easy enough to find. I imagine there was a basic.compiler. Up the difficulty ladder would be Pascal. Then C. Then assembler.

It's too early. I recently sold Quick Basic for the Mac. I may have scanned the manuals. I don't have disks or copies, but that can be downloaded from somewhere. It's a compiler.
 
I started with Turbo Pascal for Mac, then moved to APW (Apple Programmer's Workshop) which had both Pascal and C++ support. After that I moved to CodeWarrior (I think the last version to support System 7/8/9 was CodeWarrior Pro 8.

Most of that stuff can be found here: https://www.macintoshrepository.org
 
Also, a lot of the original docs by Apple were in Pascal, since that's what they used internally to build the first couple of Finder/System combos.
