You are disappointed with Apple Developer. It requires 800MB of space on your boot disk, does uncool stuff to your system and you can't figure out how to use it.
Mops to the rescue!

Mops is a programming system for Macintosh based on Forth, the ancient and noble Language of Machines. Your Mac's lowest level, Firmware, runs in Forth (see the Pong link below) as well as self-booting hardware utilities, such as TechTool. But not to worry! Mops also gives you high-level control over all aspects of the Mac! For an overview of Mops' awesome powers see the excellent Mops Roundup article Ed Williams wrote for ATPM.

For a comparison of Mops programming to other languages see the stupendous site 99 Bottles of Beer.
