I'm not exactly a programmer (yet?), but I have a soft spot for LiveCode and really hope it gets more widespread recognition and adoption.

I also just want to make sure ViperCard gets mentioned in this thread:

https://www.vipercard.net/

"ViperCard is an open source re-creation and re-imagination of 1987's HyperCard."

I'm not too familiar with ViperCard, but from my reading of the website, it is possible to import existing HyperCard stacks into ViperCard.

There was a discussion about ViperCard on HN back on Mar. 25, 2018:
