Craig Federighi also mentioned in an interview that the declarative model with bidirectional bindings was influenced by work at NeXT, referring to WebObjects.

  yea i somehow also found it similar to webobjects as well... though to be honest, i liked the bindings model in appkit better (much more component and visually driven)... shame it never came to be on iOS... swift ui is pretty cool, but somehow i feel like im laying out an html webpage instead of an app... maybe its just me
