yeah, I didn't know this:
"The last sixteen bytes of every HyperCard 2.x
stack are the Pascal string "Nu är det slut "
(Now it is over in Swedish) though this is
never seen by users. This was probably a
reference to the 1970s Swedish children's TV show
Fem myror är fler än fyra elefanter ("Five ants
are more than four elephants") where each episode
ended with a pink animated cartoon elephant
saying these words."
Additionally there is a freeCard project for Java, which is also supposed to
handle C and Python:

XULcard is one more ongoing project...

..well well well, if the stacks in Revolution were XML/css ;-)...
Wikipedia page on Hypercard reveals very, very interesting things about its
history mentioning Revolution too... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperCard
Looks like it was a grandmom of everything (hypertext, web, etc...). Well, I
did not know either that the game Myst was initially authored with hypercard
Nu är det slut ...
:-)
