Of all the languages I've experimented with, I was fond of Dan Winkler's HyperTalk (the scripting language used by Apple's Hypercard app) because it was so high-level. It enabled a lot of people - particularly in education - to create app 'stacks' that might otherwise never have ventured into programming. And it was fun. I can't imagine a more noble goal for a language.

(The variant Supertalk is still in use, in SuperCard).
