Telmo 🦕<p>As sad as it is to remember Bill Atkinson’s legacy in the wake of his passing, it makes me deeply happy that this was the post that resonated most.

Telmo 🦕<p>Ever since I heard about Bill Atkinson’s passing, I’ve been diving into everything I can find about HyperCard. Today, while the world was glued to WWDC25, I was off exploring alternate timelines—asking ChatGPT what HyperCard and the world might have become if it had never been discontinued. It was a blast. 💥 </p><p><a href="https://masto.pt/tags/billatkinson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>billatkinson</span></a> <a href="https://masto.pt/tags/hypercard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hypercard</span></a> <a href="https://masto.pt/tags/wwdc25" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wwdc25</span></a> <a href="https://masto.pt/tags/wwdc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wwdc</span></a> <a href="https://masto.pt/tags/apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>apple</span></a> <a href="https://masto.pt/tags/macintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>macintosh</span></a> <a href="https://masto.pt/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://masto.pt/tags/retromacintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retromacintosh</span></a> <a href="https://masto.pt/tags/chatgpt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>chatgpt</span></a></p>
Jan Miksovsky<p>I’ve witnessed only a tiny number of noteworthy moments in <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tech</span></a>, but as a summer intern in 1987 I attended MacWorld and was in the auditorium when Bill Atkinson introduced <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/HyperCard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HyperCard</span></a>. Completely mind-blowing: graphics, simplicity, expressiveness.</p><p>I remember HyperTalk’s surprising use of `it` as an accumulator:</p><p>```<br>get the selection<br>put it into the message box<br>```</p><p>I can’t name a contemporary user-friendly <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>programming</span></a> environment that lets you create apps/sites as easily as HyperCard did. ☹️</p>

#grateful for Bill Atkinson and #HyperCard

HyperSchool is a HyperCard application for schools to do scheduling, attendance, and grades.

It includes thousands of lines of #HyperTalk code, plus some
C code to interface to a scantron machine and to do simulated annealing
before the user gets old.

#Hypercard was one of the formative influences on my development as a software developer and researcher. I'd done a bunch of programming in various flavors of Basic and C when I first started using it, but Hypercard was the first programming language that I used to solve real problems, ranging from writing up my HS Chemistry Lab reports, to cataloguing my coin collection, to developing a re-enactment of the climactic scene of the Merchant of Venice. I have fond memories of my high school Hypercard programming class (see the movie Hackers for a surprisingly realistic re-enactment), where we got to play with the school's scheduling system, written in hypercard (with fake data though)

RIP #BillAtkinson. Your contributions to our lives will ripple throughout time.
