Daniel Jalkut on Apple’s Script
Apple should abandon AppleScript for JavaScript: “I hold a soft spot in my heart for AppleScript. But I’m slightly more of a pragmatist than a romantic. If JavaScript is what Apple cares most about, and JavaScript is where massive performance improvements are going to be made, then Apple should leverage those improvements to the benefit of every desktop scripter.” This is an interesting article. Sal Soghoian, the project manager for Automator, writes in the comments that AppleScript is here to stay - at least in OS X.
