The thing is, there are reasons we don't build apps in hypercard today. or even websites. It's tailored pretty specifically at small, personal, experimental usage. Which is great, we need that kind of thing.

But we also need languages and frameworks and etc that are tailored toward big, enduring, public usage. Because we have lots of big, enduring, public services.

One can't be the other. This is, as usual, a social problem masquerading as a tech problem. We don't need more perfect frameworks. We need to socially validate that those small, personal, temporary things are good and valuable as they are. That there are thing which are made worse by trying to make them universal. And that those small, personal, temporary things should be built with the appropriate tools for that goal.
