> Either way, expect no HyperCard (or work-alikes) from Apple. But how about other vendors? What about open-source projects? Nothing there, either. Oh, there is no shortage of attempts. And all of them are failures for the same reason: they insist on being more capable, more complexity-laden than HyperCard. And thus, none of them can readily substitute for it. Eh. Making a calculator in LiveCode is a similar complexity to doing it in HyperCard: https://subscription.packtpub.com/book/application_development/9781849699655/1/ch01lvl1sec15/making-a-simple-calculator-application https://subscription.packtpub.com/book/application_developme... HyperCard and its successors are an accessible way to make very simple, fun little apps. You can use them to make more complex apps, but it's not significantly easier to use HyperCard than more conventional tools to do that. I think the reason HyperCard-like tools are not popular today is simply that there is little demand for such apps.
