Hi Bernard, I was checking old emails from the list and I saw this email 
from you. I've been digging into HTMx and HyperScript and I've really 
been very impressed.

HyperScript is basically a JavaScript replacement written in Hypertalk. 
It is very similar to Livecode and in fact, you can modify the source 
code to make it even more similar. It seemed like a real dream to me to 
be able to escape from JavaScript and to use something similar to 
Livecode on the web. This means that with Livecode server and 
Hyperscript we already have the entire "Fullstack" developed for all of 
us who love the languages descended from Hypertalk.

I honestly think that Livecode ltd could take Hyperscript and turn it 
into something much more like Livecode in just a few days. I'm going to 
try it and I'll tell you the results.

Best,
Hery
