The LiveCode programming language is a commercial cross-platform rapid application development language inspired by Hypercard's programming language HyperTalk. The language was first introduced in 2001. The "Revolution" development system was based on the MetaCard engine technology which Runtime Revolution later acquired from MetaCard Corporation in 2003. The platform won the Macworld Annual Editor's Choice Award for "Best Development Software" in 2004. "Revolution" was renamed "LiveCode" in the fall of 2010. "LiveCode" is developed and sold by Runtime Revolution Ltd., based in Edinburgh, Scotland. It has tens of thousands of users. In April 2013 a free/open source version 'LiveCode Community Edition 6.0' was published after a successful kickstarter campaign to make it available on floss. LiveCode runs on iOS, Android, Mac OS X, Windows 95 through Windows 7, and several variations of Unix, including Linux, Solaris, and BSD. It can be used for both desktop and server/CGI applications. The first version for iOS was released in December 2010. The first version to deploy to the Web was released in 2009. It is the most widely used Hypercard/HyperTalk clone, and the only one that runs on all major operating systems. LiveCode is currently in v. 5.5, which includes paragraph styles and powerful new development tools for both iOS and Android. Wikipedia [ - ]
