But when we finally make contact with another intelligent species, will we
discover that all their cards are right-handed? (It goes with out saying that
such a species will necessarily be using LiveCode.) If so, then importing any
of their cards might result in the stack disappearing in a flash of high-energy
photons.... That problem will be one of the knottiest the LC development team
has had to tackle.
I disagree; any species using an IDE that produces right-handed dracs
would, surely be using
Edocevil (previously known as VerNur) on Retupmocs; and as everything in
their isomeric
way of doing things would have different chirality we wouldn't even be
able to shake Dnahs,
let alone swap Atad!

So you think that card creation would be racemic in nature? As many left handed
cards as right handed? But surely someone would soon come up with a plugin that
ensured an optically pure creation of new cards. Then we would be back to where
we are now, purely left handed cards, as it should be.

But then 50% of cards would be created with a scrollbar - unless of course, these
are all non-local, sitting in the anti-stack that can't be accessed because it's
in the>90% of dark code that fills all hard drives.
That would explain the rumour that Time Machine was originally going to be
called Space-Time Machine, but I'll resist considering why Parallels is really
called that and instead, get some coffee! ;-)
Best,

Although, I suppose if you could group a card then you could scroll a card.
Actually, I believe empty cards do scroll. ;)
