Another key advantage is granularity if thats the word. The languages that
are easy to learn are ones you can do something useful in with little
knowledge, and then learn how to do the next thing.
LC is great like that. A very little knowledge lets you do rudimentary
things which are fully fledg

Hypercard also had, its the speed with which you can pick up GUI creation.
Any language can call bits of bash or other utilities, awk for instance.
Well, I don't know about any. Any we would seriously consider There's

Lose? That is subjective. If you believe LC is not as powerful, even though
it can easily glue systems together to solve real problems, then yes, we've
already lost. I have used LC since it was metacard, and before that,
HyperCard. From my perspective, LC has saved me from needing python or C++,

I object to his list, which assumes RR has "invented" a new language,

My point was only to say that LC has access to shell, applescript,
vbscript, batch files, custom externals, and library stacks (although
currently fewer than other languages), BUT we do have that versatility,
which makes LC powerful. As you said, open-source will only increase our
toolset.

He may be right about the dir tree search, or maybe we're just forgetting
that LC can shell out to bash or other languages (when necessary), then do
what it does "best", and manipulate the data efficiency, while presenting
it to the user in a friendly UI on multiple platforms.

Well... he is right... iterating the directory tree in python can clearly be
done in a less verbose and more readable fashion. Unfortunately people try a

Someone there is advocating Python. Can you make standalone apps for Win,
MacOS, mobile in Python?
