If you want to play with a modern Hypercard, I recommend John Earnest's Decker[1]. It even has the Mac look. John created Lil, a scripting language from it that is declarative, functional, and vector oriented. He is also the creator of oK[2] an interpreter for a K-type programming language with a web interface and graphics and sound primitives. Amazing and fun stuff!

- incanus77 4y agoOnce Decker launched, I ate it up, and especially Lil, which is super cool. But man, have you seen the source code style? It’s like minified JS, but it’s straight C. Pretty hard to visually parse.
- eggy 4y agoI haven't looked at it, but I am familiar with it. I program in J and a famous story is how Arthur Whitney visited Ken Iverson and Kiln Farm and wrote an interpreter for J in terse C[1]. John Earnest is definitely a fan of array languages for sure, so I am not surprised. [1] https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Essays/Incunabulum https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Essays/Incunabulum
