Still, was it smart enough to figure out 'binary' features of Livecode that give speed and performance such as "repeat for each", etc. and multi-dimensional Arrays and the UI features such as the datagrid ?
The 'translation' could end up being a convoluted mess, hard to debug/understand. And there is so much more to Livecode now than what was available in Metacard. I think most here would agree for anything but the most basic stacks that it's still better to do a translation by hand. It could always be done, but is it worth the time?
