I wonder the same thing about Apple's HyperCard. I used HyperCard a ton at school and side-projects. Visual Basic was a firmer and better step-up from that imho, less so as VBScript when it came to browsers.

As per other comments VBA is alive and well and I did many consulting gigs using that in Ireland in the late 1990s. I hope, in the name of all that is holy, that code isn't running still.



A bit of an unrelated topic, but if you liked HyperCard you might be interested in https://hyperscript.org/ and their related project https://htmx.org/


I wonder about HyperCard as well. I never used it but, from everything I've ever heard about it, it was also an amazing developer experience.


Why not give Decker a spin? It's similar to HyperCard, but open source, runs nearly everywhere, and it's under active development: http://beyondloom.com/decker/
