Another appleScript WIKI question



Hi,

As I mentioned earlier I've been monitoring the wikipedia AppleScript page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleScript

Lately someone posted this in the section on Open Scripting Architecture:

"Under Mac OS X, the JavaScript OSA component remains the only serious OSA language alternative to AppleScript, though the Macintosh versions of Perl, Python, Ruby, and Tcl all support native means of working with AppleEvents without being OSA components."


Is this correct? Is this the correct terminology?  Is OSA still the model for scripting in Mac OS X and is JavaScript the only "serious" OSA language alternative to AppleScript?

Are there other OSA alternatives that are not "serious"? Would they be considered "comedic", "trivial" or "frivolous"?


Thanks

ES
