A comment on Hypercard – Way Too Early.

HyperCard lives on in LiveCode - with card metaphor, HyperTalk and all. Plus color, images (with alpha channels), regex, (limited) sockets, resolution independence, XML-parsing, IDE for Mac/Win/Nix, compiles to OSX, Win, Nix, iOS, Android. And it is OpenSource, thanks to Kickstarter (Store deployment requires commercial closed source license though). http://livecode.com/

It isn't open source if it discriminates based on endeavour.

It is a dual license model. They offer a commercial license for those developers, who want to distribute their products as closed source (as it seems, exactly this is required by the Apple store).
