I think you should have a look at P1-Modula2. It runs under MPW,
is object-oriented (MacApp? yes, of course) and has a very nice set
of libraries. The manual is not extremely extensive (120 pages),
but I found everything I needed to know. User Support is very
good, too. A colleague of mine found a minor bug in the compiler
and called up P1. Three days later, we received the update.
A nice feature is conditional compilation, especially for debugging.
THe package comes with 4 tools: a post-mortem debugger (very much
like the MacMETH pmd, with an additional 680x0 disassembly window),
a global crossreferencer, a Makefile generator and a symbol file
dumper.

I love it.
