Was it hard to create windowed Mac programs in Turbo Pascal? I imagine there were headers (in C parlance) you could import for that?

Pascal was a first class citizen. Indeed, quite alot of the original Mac was Pascal and 68k assembler. For example, strings were prefixed with a length byte as is popular in the Pascal world.

Apple even shipped a Pascal compiler with their MPW Shell - a development environment.

Personally, I used MPW C and 68k.
