When young 13-year old me discovered hypercard, it gave me a feeling of awesomeness, and HyperTalk, the programming language of HyperCard, was a lot of fun.

I think that if hypercard had been the engine of the web instead of html/css, we would have had the current state of the web (ie. with client-side dynamic applications) a lot sooner.

Wether Hypertalk would have been a better choice than javascript to program the web, this is another story :)

For the curious, the Hypertalk entry in wikipedia contains a lot of code examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperTalk

ViolaWWW (at least in version 3.0) was much like this (mostly thanks to an object-based, entirely scriptable layout engine based on vertically and horizontally spreading, nested panels). An alternative history opportunity for the Web, but probably also a security nightmare.
