If the author loves HyperCard so much why doesn't he re-create it? Honestly, it would not take that long.

The answer is because he'd rather write some link bait trashing Apple and Steve Jobs.

And because he knows perfectly well that making HyperCard is not worth his time.

IMHO his calculator example makes it perfectly obvious why HyperCard not only was killed but deserved to die. Like all of Apple's languages of the time, HyperTalk is awful. Additionally HyperCard is not particularly flexible or elegant, nor does it produce particularly fantastic end results. It's crap.

And in a day like today where we have the web enabling people who have never even heard of a pointer (let alone had to deal with pointer math) to write full fledged, performant, distributed, multi-user applications, why does anyone in their right mind spend 5 minute bemoaning the loss of HyperCard? It's absurdity.
