I know this sounds a little bit heretically but is it possible to write externals with realbasic? Theoretically it should be possible because realbasic is a compiled language.
It would be pretty cool to combine the advantages of both development environments especially under mac os x.
Old hypercard manuals mention Pascal for building externals. If Pascal was possible, I suppose realbasic should be possible. You would have to get realbasic to call C functions, and produce a library file (.bundle or .dll) and instead of an executable.
IMHO if it were possible, there would be little benefit to using realbasic to author Rev externals. Runrev is also a compiled language, but it compiles at run-time, similarly to Java with it's "JIT" and "hotspot" compilation. In my experience, realbasic is no speed demon.
Hope this helps,
