LiveCode (formerly known as Revolution) is a byte-code compiled language created by [http://www.runrev.com Runtime Revolution]
|
|
|
|
It is inspired by HyperCard/HyperTalk, but goes far beyond that heritage by:
|
|
*Creating applications that run on:
|
|
** OS X
|
|
** Mac Classic
|
|
** Windows
|
|
** Unix
|
|
** iOS
|
|
** Android
|
|
** Web Servers (with LiveCode sever)
|
|
** Web Browser HTML5 Engine (as of version 8)
|
|
*Having a full interface toolkit with native widgets on all platforms
|
|
*Incorporating modern language features like regex, associative arrays, support for internet protocols, etc.
|
|
*Supporting color natively (HyperCard die-hards are now breathing a sigh of relief)
|
|
** As of version 8 LiveCode includes an additional, strictly typed language variant called LiveCodeBuilder (LCB) which allows access to foreign code libraries (currently supports C libraries only, support for others to be added) |
