Visual programming dialect based on Pascal, permitting "hyperprogramming", which tries to map the idea-spaces of the programmer through several views of the programming itself.

from the website
HyperPascal is a revolutionary new visual language. Its data manipulation capabilities are modelled on those in Pascal, but its syntax makes great use of current GUI capabilities. For example, the program uses several windows (algorithms, expressed as modified structure diagrams occupy one such window), and automatic updating of the views in different windows is provided. The programmer creates the diagrams using a purpose-built graphic editor; then the program is compiled from the information in the diagram.
and elsewhere:
(Pascal was chosen as the test-case for the hyperprogramming ideas for its simplicity, not for its modernity).
