It's a wondrous thing, Cappuccino. They have ported Cocoa to Javascript and created an extension to Javascript called Objective-J that gives you Objective-C syntax. > This looks exactly like what 4D are trying to do with Wakanda - am I right in > that assessment ?

Cappuccino is not end to end. It is only the front end. You can use whatever back end you wish. It does abstract away the browser. You never deal directly with HTML or CSS. The other amazing thing about Cappuccino is that you can create your interfaces using Interface Builder. FULL DISCLOSURE: I may be biased about Cappuccino, I'm a major contributor to it.
