NeXT vs Sun
hoffman60613
A 1991 NeXT promotional video that stages a head-to-head programming contest between a NeXT computer and a Sun workstation. It shows NeXT's interface builder and object-oriented tooling producing an application far faster than traditional UNIX development.
HN uses it as the canonical example of rapid application development and object-oriented tooling productivity, though many note it is biased marketing.
