Support for LiveCode

[brunopio]

Hi!

I know it's asking too much for now, but in future it would be very interesting if Parallella have support for LiveCode.
"LiveCode began as an expert Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for MetaCard, a graphical user interface and development environment that supported UNIX, Windows and Mac. MetaCard built on the success of its predecessor HyperCard, recognized for its English-like language structure that was far easier to learn than BASIC. It was this plain-English syntax that attracted RunRev CEO Kevin Miller to use HyperTalk as a youth, and later acquire much of the MetaCard technology in 2003.
In 2013 RunRev began an exciting initiative to provide an open source version of the LiveCode software. The first version of this, LiveCode Community, launched in April 2013."

Thanks!

ugh. that sounds like it would bring the worst of the worst programmers into computer science. i'm sure there is a great rationale for having it but i question its validity and fear there will be unexpected side effects that are quite detrimental.

I'm not familiar with LiveCode but it seems like it could introduce programming concepts to laymen. However, there are benefits to be had with being familiar with how computers work and not treating it like a black box. No need to learn assembly, but just a thought.

A lot of people are getting a Parallella to learn parallel coding for the first time. No need to scare them off just yet.
