It was a great product and was the first widely available c compiler for the Macintosh. I purchased it (LightspeedC) for my Macintosh II for $100 in something like 1987. I was coming from Xerox office systems division to grad school and felt it was as good as our Xerox IDEs.
Languages like Apple Pascal had too much of a banana Republic dictatorship underpinning (due to Nicklaus Wirth/European fascism) and didn't allow much freedom of expression. It's why Apple had to add so many extensions just to make Pascal usable and so many people moved to Think C. With a 3-second turnaround compiler and a decent IDE it was a great system.
