There is a language called LiveCode (http://www.runrev.com ) that is the spiritual successor to HyperCard. It uses a modern day xTalk language, it has network and database access and it cross compiles to Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android. Oh and it has a special engine that works like PHP, you can build websites by mixing HTML and xTalk.

I've been using it as my main development toolkit since 2005 and been quite happy. I am scheduled to speak at their world wide conference this month, so if you have any question, just ask. If you liked HyperCard and want to see what it could have been, just check LiveCode

I used Revolution years ago. Glad to see it's still going strong. :)
