Well put, Chipp.
Or, looking at the same thing a bit differently:
"Rev" is more than "RevCode".
You can build an application's interface, go through several
"versions" with the client/customer - and never write a single line
of code until you and the client/customer are in agreement on most of
the details of the product/project.
Rev is a "development environment".
At this point it is hard for me to think of prototyping a product in
any traditional "language".
And, once it is prototyped in Rev, what not just finish it in Rev?
Yet, this is hard to convey to a client/customer. And I believe that
was Jim's original question. I'm not sure this ease of use, time-
savings, and enhanced customer/client communication can be explained.

Richmond,
The problem with "Hypercard" and "xTalk" is for many they represent
non-professional approaches to programming. That's why I never mention
either when talking about Rev.
Others who are reading this thread,
Also, I think of Rev as more than just a scripting language for the
following reasons:
1) Rev can create powerful applications and standalones. Most
scripting
languages cannot do this natively;
2) Rev has a built in IDE; most scripting languages tend to use a
third
party IDE;
3) Rev has some compiling capabilities, which many scripting
languages don't
have-- but more and more are adding this now.
4) Rev has a very full GUI set of tools.
