I recently finished transitioning ScreenSteps to 64-bit on macOS. I decided
to move all externals that my company maintains to extensions written in
LiveCode Builder using the Foreign Function Interface. I didn't want to
have to worry about compiling them in XCode ever again. As a benefit, in
most of my cases I find it is easier to add new features to LCB code than
to externals. It was a bit of work but I'm glad I did it.
