I've never seen anything as easy as HyperCard; Option-click on a
control to edit its script. Done!
The Max application family <http://www.cycling74.com/products/max5>
has the same ability. Curiously, Max was created on the first NeXT
machines and then ported to the Mac. But if I'm not mistaken,
HyperCard was a shipping product while NeXT was still in the design
stage. So perhaps Miller Puckette pinched the option-click notion
from HyperCard. Max is orders of magnitude more powerful and
expressive than HyperCard ever was. In my opinion, the idiom is
much more intuitive than the IB/Xcode combo. Check out a demo at <http://www.cycling74.com/downloads/max5

Yeah, I'd have to agree; Hypertalk can't compare to Cocoa as a
language. My comment was primarily focused toward the intuitive nature
of the GUI design integration with the actual coding; no outlets or
actions. Just option-click and start coding… couldn't have been simpler.
