Sure, but Delphi was released in 1995 as the first version, whereas this was something I was programming in 1992 (and I came late to the party with Nextstep 3).

Visual Basic came out in 1991, by which time Nextstep was already at version 2.1

So yes, these things existed, but after Next had demonstrated them.

The timeline was off in my head, it was a long ago!
