On the heroism, I'm just telling you what the writers of the posts seem to be saying, unless I'm reading them wrong.
I don't disagree that LC is a nice tool to have. I do seem to spend enough time using it - but - I've used lots of tools that were nice. Sometimes, though, in business, mass leads to growth. I wasn't all that amped at being able to develop android apps, except for the fact that someone else who wants to develop for mobile can target ios and android with less work, which means more potential users, more potential revenue for RR, and thus, more potential goodies for me in the product. Today's hackers are frequently tomorrow's badasses, because eventually they grow up and get a job. I'll cheer the hackers latching on as a very big deal for tool growth. Now that LC is OSS, they might even eventually fork it and do other very cool things with it that we can all thank them for, later.

On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours, and did a little diving. And God said, "This is good." _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
