Just a brief reply here to note that there's more to the story. 
LiveCode's implementation of English-like scripting has some extremely 
special features, it is indeed a valuable syntax for those seeking an 
intuitive language or English-like language, and that fact hasn't 
changed, despite the world having more options today. There are very 
sound reasons why this particular language (or language family) could be 
valuable to a new generation of coders.

Best wishes,

Curry K.
