I was around, and seeing what others did with HyperCard - in specific, my Hebrew teacher, because MacOS could do Hebrew - the thing that is lost is low friction between creation and execution. I sort of feel some of that with SwiftUI and Compose now, as long as we don't bulk the apps up with too much architecture. What they lack, though, is true drag and drop UI with arbitrary locations. It's easier to make apps for those platforms, but HyperCard felt like it could make /anything/. I mean, Myst was a HyperCard stack, so maybe it could make anything.
