I rermember OpenDoc. It would have been revolutionary. And it was READY to go. I knew the guy at Apple Canada that was in charge of promoting it. He was profoundly disappointed when Apple dropped-the-ball; just as we were when HyperCard was steved. And so it was with many other promising R&D initiatives, before the Return of the King. I signed petition that stipulated that I would stop using any Apple product until they rescued HyperCard. They never did, and I never looked back. I am running Debian on PC-hardware. Bye bye! Alain

As interesting as Swift is, given this long history I can't help but think we'll want to see some commitment from Apple over time before smart devs will commit everything they have to it. Then again, the smart devs making money are mostly making cross-platform apps, where Swift can't help them (no doubt very much the point). -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for LiveCode developers: http://www.LiveCodeJournal.com Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/FourthWorldSys _______________________________________________ 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 _______________________________________________ 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
