Yes. In fact it's the areas where they differ that make for a difficult learning curve. There are features in LCB that I wish were backported to LCS. I appreciate the team's reticence to make syntax changes to the core xtalk language, but even as a long-time C programmer,

put tHexNumber converted from base 16 into tDecimalNumber

seems so much more readable than

put format("%02x", tHexNumber) into tDecimalNumber

The difficulty Mark was having is more related to the fact that LCB is not
'live' like LiveCode Script, and that we certainly haven't quite cracked
the documentation or the integration with the IDE yet.

Yes on all counts.
