I know that there is (was?) a project to bring an Objective-C equivalent to the web called Cappuccino[0] as well. It does look interesting though it lacks most modern DX, which means its adoption is going to be limited I imagine [0]: https://www.cappuccino.dev/learn/ https://www.cappuccino.dev/learn/

Yeah. The language is called Objective-J while Cappuccino is the framework. Objective-C : Cocoa = Objective-J : Cappuccino. I remember that the company behind it was called "280 South". They seem to have opensourced it before they shut down.

  Obviously I misremembered. I just visited the site linked above. The company was "280 North"

    Because you drive north on 280 from Cupertino to San Francisco…

Very cool that you can use the XCode interface builder to build the UI. I wonder why this type of style hasn't caught on with React and friends? It would be really nice to be able to have an AppKit-quality UI programmable in React or Svelte. I know I know mobile blah blah. But lots of web apps are complicated enough to only be useful on a large screen, like Figma.
