I was surprised Squirrel wasn't mentioned earlier. However, I agree
that it is not a RAD/IDE tool for easy application development, like
other [unmentionable] tools on the MS platform.

Ewh. I used Phab, and I must admit it was some time ago, and in beta
status then, but it really was not all that nice, IMHO. Plus coding in
QNX is in C, and not even C++, which I think this was what people were
saying they wanted to make easier.
Recently, however, I received an email from Kelly Schrock about
VisualBe++:

I'm not actively developing/enhancing Visual Be++ at present, but as
soon as there is a BeOS-type platform to work on again, I'm planning on
resuming work on it. I like what you're doing with OBOS, and if I ever
get some free time, I'd like to contribute. I tried Linux, and it makes
me miss BeOS all the more!

Sounds like he only needs a few gentle nudges to continue work on
that. ;) But it's also C++. Wasn't there someone working on an
object Pascal (a la Delphi) RAD tool for BeOS recently?
