If my guess are correct, in the future, someone will have the
"brilliant idea" of recreating HyperTalk or a similar programming
language in top of Javascript or Python and suddenly everyone
will wonder: "Why nobody had think about this before?"
Then you will read sentences like these:

"There used to be a similar language named HyperTalk, but it was
limited to Macs, that never have a significant share of Desktop
computers"... and ... "Still today, there are commercial software
like LiveCode (Multi-Platform) and SuperCard (MacOSX only) that
uses a similar programming language with great advantage, according
to their developers and faithful user base."

I need to repeat again, what I have posted before:
To gain a foothold in the schools, this platform
have to convince the leaders to use LiveCode,
not the followers.
