I always appreciate Richards insight and clear expressions. Thank you Richard.
What do we really want LiveCode to be? Honestly, I would enjoy LiveCode to replace JavaScript and would put this as CHOICE NUMBER ONE, ONE and ONE. And, of course, I know, this will not work. Let us face the fact that today's browsers are capable of almost everything you want to do with a rich application. Why should I develop even desktop applications and mobile apps if pretty much the same can be done in a modern browser? OK, it only has a single page interface, but do people care? Already, even in LC, I am mostly developing for single page interface design anyway and do not use separate windows. Probably, any other language faces the same dilemma. Maybe it could be possible using LiveCode to translate LC source code to source code in JavaScript? But probably not, since JavaScript heavily relies on the DOM in the browser and LC basically has nothing to do with a browser and its objects. So, I am out of ideas.
