And what happens beyond Code Club? "Hopefully after two years with Code Club,"
Sandvik continues, "they'd be inspired to strike out on their own and explore
languages like JavaScript."
"...well, we started out with Scratch and now we're off to javascript..." and
LiveCode is off on the sidelines, wondering why nobody's paying attention. Sigh.
Coulda been a contender.
I dunno. I loves me some LiveCode, but I gotta admit that when it comes
to marketable skills it's hard to beat JavaScript.
There are quite possibly more people around the world programming in
JavaScript right now in the time it takes me to write this than the sum
of all xTalkers ever.
No proprietary language, no matter how good, will ever match that.
The only way LiveCode could become such a de facto standard would be for
someone to come up with a way that changing its license to FOSS could
still bring in enough money to be profitable.
