Ah yes, I remember the funny guy facing various dramatic software difficulties in the first part of the video.
This builder does look like a precursor to NeXT's and HyperCard too. I like that the "toolbox" appears next to the mouse, instead of having to go to the top menu or sidebar to select a new tool and back to position to use it. I missed that it ran on a Lisp processor, very cool!
And that the main developer later worked at NeXT and Apple.

..Searching for "SOS Interface for the Mac", I guess it's Sophisticated Operating System, "the primary operating system of the Apple III computer" released in 1980.
