Maybe hold off on the homicide. I bet someone has done something like that.

LiveCode is a modern day HyperCard and everyone who used HyperCard will feel at home at it.

LiveCode runs on macOS, Windows and Linux and can generate standalone binaries for all those platforms plus Android and iOS. You can get it from https://www.livecode.com/ or you can get a GPL version of it from https://www.livecode.org/.

The language looks reminiscent of my memories of HyperTalk.

Looks like the open source version was axed, and the cheapest subscription plan is $36.67 per month per user. Yikes.

After the axing there was an effort to salvage the last open source versions, and build something from there: http://openxtalk.org/
