Actually, I understand why RunRev do not want to
sell LiveCode as a HyperCard replacement.

LiveCode is multiplatform and this single fact
set it apart from all previous x-talk languages.

In my humble opinion, the future of programming
would be driven by artificial intelligence assistants
and multiple ways of working and interfacing with
the computer using voice, gaze interaction, gesture,
motion, pointer, keyboard, etc...
