Anyone know about "HyperScript"?

I am on the old Hypercard use-list, and got an inquiry about this.

It does seem to be out there:

Well, as far as I recall, HyperScript is the Grand-daddy of all the xTalk languages, and, a bit like my Granddad, has been laid to rest, and only nutty spiritualists are going to try to conjure up his ghost.

Personally I'd far rather read the Beano (a comic made in Dundee) than go back to HyperScript in a daft attempt to recover my lost youth.

At the moment I prefer to read more grown-up publications (no, not porn mags), and use a more grown-up programming language.

BUT, Hey, I am 'kinky' in my own way, playing with BBC Micro computers from the early 1980s.

@DunbarX: Thanks. I didn't know there was a new HC list after Yahoo Groups shut down. Good to see.

@Richmond: I believe you're thinking of HyperTalk. Visiting the link Craig provided, HyperScript appears to be a relatively new project.

I believe you're thinking of HyperTalk.

You are quite right.

I found this:

https://putyourlightson.com/articles/a- ... yperscript

"You guessed it, yet another JavaScript library."

and this:

"Hypescript is a kind of language to create HyperText with JavaScript and was started by Dominic Tarr in 2012."

So, probably not of great interest round these parts.
