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.
