Wasn't HyperCard "semi-open-source" way back because of XCMDs and XFCN?... A tool like CompilIt made it easier for non-C coders to develop an extension for HC for their own purpose. I don't think Rev has that facility that same way, but couldn't Rev become "semi-open-source" by providing a tool like CompilIt, fully documented and supported with an easy path designed to bring cool and widely used X-things into the IDE ...

HC was closed and proprietary, and Apple still guards the code even though they aren't using it any more. They provided info about the hooks required to use externals, just as Rev does, but no one outside of Apple knows how the engine works.
