I won't be much help in the 'concrete examples' area, but consider
these extras
To properly compile C++ you need the correct compliment of libraries
in your IDE for the platform & version. As things evolve, you need to
keep separate dev environs for each version of a platform, and
sometimes even the processor type.
Selection/creation of interface elements are usually the burden of the
designer and add to the programming time.
I am sure there are more areas that a good C++ programmer has in his
arsenal. If you write a good discussion paper on this, it would be
cool if you would share it with the list. I know a couple people who
think I am a little nutty for choosing LC, but this would help me
explain the reasoning.
Thanks,

Hello all,
In trying to explain to students how high level languages such as
LiveCode can make development faster, I would like to give concrete
examples of how single-line LC commands actually execute dozens of C+
+ commands in the engine. For example, a simple one-liner like:
show field "demo" with visual effect dissolve
Must have lots of lines of compiled C code behind it. Does anyone
have any concrete examples? I may end up directing this to the
mother ship, but thought I'd try here first.
