Never used MPW nor seen it in action, but many people have told me there are similarities. Being able to type stuff and double-click on it, I think.

I'm working on making a page that highlights similarities between Xiki and various tools / paradigms.



One neat feature: you could specify regions of a window (text document) as a separate file, so you could perform redirections to and from. Of the window was "Fred" you could, eg:

Echo "main() {}" > {Fred}.$ cc -o mything {Fred}.$

(Of note, the actual syntax included high bit MacRoman characters, so you were actually using the "section" glyph rather than $)
