What is the thinking behind this? I am a little put off by the
change. Hypercard had hypertalk, supercard had supertalk, director
had lingo and Revolution had Transcript. I love the name transcript.
My initial reaction was the same, but after sleeping on this, I
concluded that the change is not so significant. I mean it is okay to
drop the differentiation since the coding is an integral part of
using the IDE. It was different with HyperCard since it clearly
delineated different operation modes, with scripting being the
highest level, and it was possible to lock users out of scripting
while still letting them modify the stacks.
On the other hand, what is now the programming language of MetaCard?
It used to be MetaTalk. Then we started saying Transcript for
simplicity, although technically not quite correct since all the
revXxxx thingies were not available there while implicitly part of
Transcript. I guess I have to say now I program in Revolution using
MetaCard IDE. Maybe it would be the right time to have FlipsIDE (what
ever happened to it btw?), so IDEs can be switched like skins sort of
and further eliminate the distinction of language flavors.
