Apple had another technology by the same name once, maybe ten years ago.

Some kind of multimedia authoring thing I think. Never went anywhere.
No sentence of that paragraph is quite accurate: it wasn't ten years ago,
it wasn't really multimedia authoring, and it didn't go nowhere. Cocoa the
children's programming environment existed far more recently, and is now
Stagecast, which is alive and well and runs very well under Mac OS X. It's
still a superb way for kids to program visually by making animated
environments. For my review in TidBITS of an earlier version, and some
history, look here:
