There's a distraction.

Ha, Ha: cripes, just started reading the build instructions: I'm lost and off chasing rabbits again. 8-)

In fact all these HC clones and so forth are nothing but that as the MAIN CONCERN here
is surely to get Open Source LiveCode "out from under the umbrella" of LiveCode-the-Company
as a FREE (as in LibreOffice, GIMP and so on) RAD IDE.

Ooer:

"This opensourcelibs.com page can’t be found"

Not going to get very far there I'm afraid.

THANKS!
While my immediate goals are about un-branding and minimally rebranding, and then re-releasing the open source version of LCC,
I do plan to do something with all of this information about every xTalk implementation I can find.
Maybe just maybe we can incorporate some things from these others open source HC clones too.
This one looks like it's built with JAVA.

After reading about RadBuilder I thought the bar was set pretty low. It has absolutely no relation to xTalk scripting.

I can't see how your contributions will help make an open source version of LiveCode either, since they can't run on modern systems.

They won't, but they feature various palettes and so forth that LiveCode does not that might give people ideas re some changes,
although, personally, I have NO problem whatsoever with the current LC GUI.

RadBuilder, I'm guessing, is what evolved from Gain Momentum after it change hands a couple of times.
Probably what happens to xTalk when the database or "real coding language" type people are in the drivers seat.
It looks like it could've been an xTalk before it devolved.
I'd like to see what Gain Momentum's 200 page syntax dictionary looked like.

I'm guess I'm OK with adding things that are somehow closely related, but not exactly xTalk.
AppleScript / AppleScriptObjC comes to mind.

This is actually quite cool

Several of the other repos are rather interesting, like this:

and this (I still run some retro computers):
