Then you will read sentences like these: "There used to be a similar language named HyperTalk, but it was limited to Macs, that never have a significant share of Desktop computers"... and ... "Still today, there are commercial software like LiveCode (Multi-Platform) and SuperCard (MacOSX only) that uses a similar programming language with great advantage, according to their developers and faithful user base." I need to repeat again, what I have posted before: To gain a foothold in the schools, this platform have to convince the leaders to use LiveCode, not the followers.
