Article may be of interest to some. Written in Pascal + asm.

Quite an interesting read. Thanks Curt.
The source code can be downloaded at:
https://computerhistory.org/blog/macpaint-and-quickdraw-source-code/
Also found an interesting read on Photoshop:
https://computerhistory.org/blog/adobe-photoshop-source-code/
"The first version of Photoshop was written primarily in Pascal for the Apple Macintosh, with some machine language for the underlying Motorola 68000 microprocessor where execution efficiency was important
"
You can also download the source code.

I write ASM code for the 68xxx years for the Amiga assisting a group that was DEV "Go-64" emulator where they needed turbo drive speeds
its an interesting processor, too bad it didn't stick around longer.
