I would argue that Visual Basic on Windows was similar to HyperCard for Mac!

It also led to a great number of “regular folks” making “forms” and adding code. And VBX allowed people in Excel to do stuff.

Also don’t forget AppleScript. And now on iOS we have Shortcuts and Workflow too.



The real HyperCard on Windows was Asymetrix ToolBook, which was very good.


VBX or VBA?
