LiveCode (formerly known as Revolution) is a byte-code compiled language created by Runtime Revolution

It is inspired by HyperCard/HyperTalk, but goes far beyond that heritage by:

Creating applications that run on:
- OS X
- Mac Classic
- Windows
- Unix
- iOS
- Android
- Web Servers (with LiveCode sever)
- Web Browser HTML5 Engine (as of version 8)
Having a full interface toolkit with native widgets on all platforms
Incorporating modern language features like regex, associative arrays, support for internet protocols, etc.
Supporting color natively (HyperCard die-hards are now breathing a sigh of relief)
- As of version 8 LiveCode includes an additional, strictly typed language variant called LiveCode Builder (LCB) which allows authoring custom graphical control widgets as well as access to foreign code libraries (version 9 supports C, Objective C, and JAVA libraries, others may be added in the future). There is also a method for using JavaScript within a browser widget and methods for exchanging data between the two languages. Additionally LiveCode can use other languages through a shell and open process functions, as well as OSA Scripting languages such as AppleScript on macOS.
