What is "Open Language"?

[Bob Sneidar]

I would say LC is "typeless" as far as it can be. Graphic data is not strictly typeless, data read in as binary is not typeless, etc. In fact, any attempt to reduce *ALL* data to strings would be a horrible mistake. I guess I'm saying that I appreciate not having to worry about typing until it can't be helped.

One of the principal differences between LiveCode Script and LiveCode Builder is that LiveCode Script tries very hard to be a 'typeless' language (okay so it has arrays so it isn't really), whereas LiveCode Builder doesn't - it has dynamically typed semantics which are strictly enforced.
