Dear Robert Brenstein, there was no "apparently" about things, I wrote
what I wrote.
However, just to throw another spanner in the works:-
The very few times people ask me how I make my programs I state that I use:
"Runtime Revolution, a complete programming package."
No 'language', 'IDE', 'GUI', and so on, os mentioned; probably because
most people seem perfectly satisfied with that answer. The few who are not
satisfied get treated to 30 minutes of my demonstrating RR, and 30 minutes
while I go away and let them play with RR. The end result is either
"Wow!" or "I don't understand how computers work anyway."
Having a separate name for the language does not change any of the above.
As I have spent 90% of my adult life outwith my country of origin
the word 'Transcript' will always be linked in my mind with standing
in queues at embassies and various other state institutions with
academic
transcript with stamps, seals, apostils and much, much more.
sincerely, Richmond Mathewson.
Considering the audience of the language, I doubt that many people
have such a connotation.
