Where LiveCode is Now

[Kurt Kaufman]

There are probably quite a few who, like me, have used LC/RR/MC for years, creating in-house labor-saving devices (for myself, they are mostly of the variety "pull A,B, and C from X, rearrange them and format them to Y, and spit the result out as a text file").  Could I have [attempted] to write these un-glamorous utilities in another language? Probably, but I really am not a "natural" programmer, so I greatly appreciate the shortcuts to functionality that LC provides. I sometimes watch this list for new developments or other news, and I am grateful to be able to query it for help when I need a function that I can't figure out on my own. Some bumps here and there, but I am like the fact that the discourse here is almost always civil.
Thanks!
