Do you think the world has changed such that a modern HyperCard is just not something people would use? Or has the massive influx of "there's an app for that" papered-over the hole in the market?
- thinkcomp 13y agoI think it might be used, but I wonder if anyone would pay. If Apple were run with a different mindset, they might turn XCode into HyperCard again. If Google were run with a different mindset and Android were something other than Java, you might see them build their own HyperCard-style development environment instead of relying on the abomination that is Eclipse.
