Question: does HyperTalk "work" because (unlike most languages) it's easier to read than it is to write, and therefore encourages learning by exploration?
it works because 1. you mostly don't need it at all, 2. all actions you perform in the hypercard UI generate hypertalk "under the hood" which you can then tweak instead of writing from scratch, 3. when you copy & paste objects from other people's stacks, the code comes with them
