Whether it's the best language to get depends on whether you're willing to learn Pascal or C. As for Micol, the language itself is fairly robust. My biggest argument with it is that not enough time has been devoted to the shell .. although it'll look great to you if you're coming from Applesoft BASIC. And Micol is highly responsive to its customers .. as good as or better than Byte Works, if more limited in resources.
