But compilers are scary!
Yes, they are. But that's our fault (the people who write compilers), we've taken something that is reasonably straightforward and made it so scary that most think of it as this totally unapproachable thing that only the nerdiest of the nerds are able to understand.
All LiveCode scripts are in the "Press to Compile..." button.
