   Use of WINFBE for making 32 bit and 64 bit applications

   Being frustrated by the replacement of vb6 paradigm with .Net philosophy,total different from the orher, I looked over 20 years a replacement. For a while, worked with brilliant PowerBasic combined with FireFly, but the lack of 64 bit caused by early and regretable loss of Bob , finished the game. Now, FireFly is replaced by WinFbe,like a phoenix bird again and as language is prefered FreeBasic, a good mature 32/64 bit compiler,strong and with same syntax origin like basic used by Microsoft in good times. The combination is awsome, differences are only estetical in comparation with old VB. Winfbe becomes a redutable tool, with online context suggestions, well done and it deserves a look , as an intersting alternative

• CardStock

  Let's not forget that runtime revolution, now called Livecode (https://livecode.com/) still exists and is likely the functional, modern successor to HyperCard. Hypercard Stacks as far as I remember work out of the box too. Historically there was HyperCard, then cross-platform Metacard, which eventually became Runtime Revolution, which apparently is now renamed Livecode!

• Hypercard got its Color Back

  There are several options. LiveCode [1] (formerly open source, now closed) can open HyperCard stacks and is compatible with round 85% of the native syntax - so some things will work, and some bits will need rewriting. I am pretty sure they offer a free trial so you can check to see how well it does at converting your stack before committing. If you are on a Mac, the command-line stackimport tool [2] will convert... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Hypercard got its Color Back

  LiveCode [1] [2] still exists and seems to be actively maintained! Runtime Revolution was the spiritual successor to SuperCard, and made building color, cross-platform stack-like apps totally possible. The language is still very close to HyperTalk, so it has a much shallower learning curve than many C-style languages. 1. https://livecode.com. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
