LiveCode Forums.

Before you start pointing out the differences and objecting to some of my statements, take a step back. You have to agree that LiveCode is a simple and easy to understand language. (I know it has some rough edges and sticking points but in general that is true). You can quickly create some useful p...

@"david759": Why are you here? Apparently you need it all put in one post . SO sure I can oblige and mention all the reasons I have already stated. Repetition I guess is necessary for learning as they say 1) I cared abut the platform enough to have spent time trying to see if it would work for me (...

With all the schools jumping on the Computer Science/programming bandwagon, there is going to be a massive audience out there to draw from (all students/new customers). Even adults are expressing an interest in learning to program. and a lot of them are finding python where they can in fact get job...

The question of emotional investment might equally apply to someone who takes the time to create an account and then post repeatedly only to complain about a language they don't like and don't even use.

You make some decent points. GUI is one of the reasons I was looking at LC but thats obviously not been en...

We don't often see people take the time to create an account only to complain about a language they don't use. It's rare enough to be...

The real reason Livecode has never caught on is because the syntax is outside the modern convention in programming. Au contraire, it's unique language is its raison d'être. After all, if one prefers something else why not just use that? not sure what something else you are referring to except that ...

considering how little livecode is known that price is ridiculous unless they have given up on it ever being widely used.
