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.
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.
You may also be interested in oK[0], which is developed by the same person who created Decker, which has a similar style, although more clean and a little bit more readable IMO than LIL.
Completely unrelated but the title of this post just unlocked a childhood memory of a video game I had completely forgotten about, but really enjoyed: http://www.roguebasin.com/index.php?title=Decker I wonder if it holds the test of time...
