Is this framework inspired by Cocoa at all? seems like it from just glancing at it.

As mentioned in the article, the core object system was inspired by SproutCore (4 years ago), which was in turn inspired by Cocoa, so yes there is a heritage. However, Overture is designed to enhance web tech rather than turn it into something else (which was always the impression I got with SproutCore).

They say the object system is inspired by Sprout core, which is inspired by Cocoa.
