Here is a resemblance:
You can send messages to objects in both HyperTalk and Smalltalk.
You cannot do this in C (unless C++ or Objective C), Pascal, Lisp
(unless e.g. Flavors), PL/I, Algol, Prolog, Fortran, BASIC, Jovial,
or most other languages.
This resemblance is not coincidental. Bill Atkinson said in an interview
I saw that Smalltalk was the second biggest language influence on HyperTalk.
The first? Why, English, of course.
