LCB as a language is marginally (if at all) more complex than LiveCode. In

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.
