So great. Hypercard 2.0 was great. Hook up a couple of XFCNs, get stuff done.

As the whole system environment grew, the scripting language outgrew the cards, but Apple seemed utterly blind, in contempt of any system that could not be shown as a GUI product. They could not tell a story, so they threw it away.

UserLand Frontier was fantastic.

Turns out, scripting languages that glue GUI bits together is a pretty useful way to go.
