LC is a perfect tool, for me also plays the role of a GUI when seeking for speed. Javascript/HTML5 does a lot of low level binary data processing up to 100 times faster than LC Script (and no js-package needed for that).
To use javascript/HTML5 is not "bypassing" the LC language" but *extending* the LC language. It is more comparable to using externals. Or kind of a FFI, like using java in LC Builder. > Richard G. wrote: > With all the interest lately in bypassing the LC language to use an > embedded browser process, maybe we've found the winning slogan for LC: > > "LiveCode: a great JavaScript packaging tool" :) > > Richard G. wrote: > No judgment from me on this.
