Delphi has been around (and better than HyperCard) for twenty-five years. Free Pascal for at least as long, but it has only had the visual component aspect provided by Lazarus for ten or fifteen years.

Filemaker is a neat program.
What's the easiest way to generate a CRUD form?
HyperCard.
We need a ubiquitous HyperCard equivalent that talks to the Real Database(TM) of your choice on the backend -- sqlite, postgresql, mysql/mariadb, Oracle, MS-SQL, whatever -- with easy functions for "get a sequence number", "get a unique identifier cookie" and "do this block atomically".
I bet there's a few out there right now.
