Letter: Free code

Published 17 July 2013

From Robert Cailliau

In his look at computer programming, (8 June, p 36) Michael Brooks omits a branch of languages: the “English-like” ones of which LiveCode, by RunRev in the UK, is the foremost. Recently made open-source, anyone can access its coding, and its programs will run on any platform. It is easy to learn and memorise.
