I was 39 when I got my very first computer (Mac LC/pizzabox)! :-)

No, I mean that's the only thing it has in common with LiveCode the language -- the name. Amazon LiveCode is just a code editor or something like that.
LiveCode is the (newish) name for a coding technique and, I think, another language which isn't our LC. Still, it's a good way for LC to be discovered.

If LiveCode weren't going the way of all flesh, it might be apposite to dodge that ambiguity and rename it (again) to, say, RevCode. 8)

LiveCode cannot push back on whatever infringement there might be? Certainly caused just a little confusion here.

Reminds me that I loved the old term "Transcript" for the language.

I looked it up. 'LiveCode is an online coding environment used by Amazon during interviews to assess your coding skills in real-time." There is also "live coding" -- 2 words -- which is "A contemporary computer-based artform that manifests as performances that include “on the fly” programming. Live coding focuses on algorithmic execution while exploring the meaning of interactivity and the relationship between the performer and emerging technologies.

Whatever that means.

Against Amazon? Right...
