If only there was an operating system designed by and for developers, 
supported by a vast ecosystem that values control, customization, and 
interoperability....

How unimaginibably cool would it be if such an OS were also the de facto 
standard of modern computing in all areas beyond the desktop, giving you 
the confidence that the system in your hands works just like the others 
you use in servers, IoT devices, and everything else in the 
ubiquitous-computing world you design for....

If only such a thing existed, you could still enjoy every other OS 
LiveCode runs on for testing, deployment, and support, or even for some 
end-user tasks like specialized kinds of media production. Consumer 
electronics appliances could be enjoyed for what they are, and all the 
while your bread-and-butter development system would always remain 
something that prioritizes your preferences over those of any single 
corporation....
