▲It is inspired by HyperCard/HyperTalk, but goes far beyond that heritage by:
*Creating applications that run on:
** macOS (and previously classic Mac OS)
** OS X
** Mac Classic
** Windows
** Linux (and previously various Unix)
** Unix
** iOS
** Android
** Web Servers (with LiveCode sever engine version)
** Web Browser (HTML5 EngineEmscripten engine (as of version 8)
** Having a full interface toolkit with native widgets on all platforms
* Incorporating modern language features like regex, associative arrays, support for internet protocols, etc.
* Supporting color natively (HyperCard die-hards are now breathing a sigh of relief)
** As of version 8 LiveCodethe engine includes an additional, strictly typed language variant called [[LiveCode Builder]] (LCB) which allows authoring custom graphical control widgets as well as access to foreign code libraries (version 9 supports C, Objective C, and JAVA libraries, others may be added in the future). There is also a method for using JavaScript within a browser widget and methods for exchanging data between the two languages. Additionally LiveCodethe engine can use other languages through a shell and open process functions, as well as OSA Scripting languages such as [[AppleScript]] on macOS.
 
* Since September 1st 2021, LiveCode Ltd. has dropped support for their Community version, there is an effort to continue to support this free Open Source GPL3 version currently known as OpenXTalk.
