jcs has a very nice series of Classic Mac programming videos, he writes programs in Think C 5 on System 6, on real hardware: https://jcs.org/system6c

He even made a version control system for the Mac called Amend, and a website to share Amend repositories, called AmendHub!

I'm also working on my Mac Plus under System 6, but I haven't finished any projects that I could share.

This shows how advanced the Macintosh was for its time. I've tried using an Apple II for modern development, but it's too antiquated for that. The Macintosh, released just a couple years later, still seems contemporary by comparison.

Glad to see new programs being released for System 6!
