For lightweight geeks like me, who never really got a handle (pardon the pun) on using mainstream, compiled programming languages such as C or Java, this could be interesting. Revolution is a cross-platform development environment that uses a high-level scripting language. Transcript, as it’s called, reads an awful lot like HyperTalk, the native tongue of HyperCard. Since I’ve been living, breathing, and eating HyperCard stacks since it was first released, Revolution appears to be a natural progression. I’ve just downloaded the beta and am going to give it a crack. Revolution could well be what HyperCard might have evolved into, had it not been placed in some sort of weird product stasis by Apple.
