This is the same issue that went the rounds when HyperTalk came out twenty years ago. It wasn't a real language, it was a toy. It was not serious at all. And it had limitations, lord knows, so there was some merit to the argument. It made sense for private development, but only that. Even the fact that it was bundled with each Mac, itself considered a non-serious platform, crippled its acceptance into mainstream programming thinking.
It didn't matter that HC revolutionized software, or that it worked, except to hundreds of thousands of private developers, but even with us it was always a cult, and we were on the defensive, always. Revolution, being so much more powerful, tries to overcome this very same mind set by touting ease of use with no-limit capabilities. Big difference. But is this enough for smart human beings to see, and embrace? It wasn't last time around. There are an awful lot of people who should have learned, and learned to love, HC that never even tried. ************** One site keeps you connected to all your email: AOL Mail, Gmail, and Yahoo Mail.
