Wow, somehow I had never heard the sad story of MacBasic. It's such a perfect example of why people don't trust Microsoft.

- WillAdams 1y agoAs someone who wasted a lot of time trying to get a graphical project to work in Microsoft's Basic for Macintosh, I'm still angry about it, and wonder how the trajectory of my life might have changed had MacBasic been available for me to purchase instead (unfortunately, things were set/quite different when HyperCard came out, though I did greatly enjoy _The Manhole_).
