What's worse, in context here, is Apple's distinguished primary role in bringing this about.

Idk 2003-2009 was very much the days of the sort of malware and spyware that showed developers in a company didn’t deserve rights anymore

I don't see what that has to do with Hypercard. If anything, Hypercard (or modern HTML) is living proof that you can create and share a secure software runtime with the world.

If developers "didn't deserve rights" for what they did with that, then I don't see how we should let Apple off the hook for PRISM compliance and backdoored Push Notifications.

HyperCard is completely insecure by any reasonable security/privacy standard.

It's like they remembered their 1984 advert, and decided they wanted to be the baddy in it.

Swift Playgrounds is very much in the spirit of HyperCard, but also gives access to the same APIs the professional developers are using.

It's also designed to be usable and educational for kids.
