quote [ Director uses its own programming language, Lingo, which is inspired by languages like Smalltalk and HyperCard. […] Lingo uses a HyperCard-style English-like way of programming and Smalltalk-style object oriented features.
Early versions of Director are unusual for having the engine interpret the game logic straight from source code—which means if you’ve got any copy of the game, you’ve got the source code too. ] This used to be very common back in the day and it's interesting to see devs working through funky Mac-only code today. Kind of the making-of of this post from the author of this music blog.

Interpreter engines where quite popular - the whole SCUMM VM series from Lucas Arts would be another example.
