It has been mentioned numerous times here, but hypercard could have been what the web is today. Thirty years ago the hypercard alternative supercard opened a whole new world for many developers. Supercard made it possible to make standalone mac apps, in colors, with access to the internet.<p>I remember making a simple app to send text messages to motorola pagers at that time. It even looked like a pager on the screen.
Looking at js/lil.js I first thought it was a minified file, then realized it’s probably not optimized to save bytes, but to save pixels on the screen, to fit more of the code at a glance. I find it surprisingly appealing and feel a little sad thinking that this style of formatting wouldn’t pass code review anywhere.
