Integration with the new Scripting Bridge
Anyone know if this is something we should be excited about?

I think the best thing about Scripting Bridge is that it shows Apple continues to be committed to supporting and expanding OS X's application scripting technologies. Anyone who does application scripting should be heartened by this, whether or not they use these individual technologies themselves or not; anything that brings in new users helps to extend marketshare, which in turn means there's more users demanding that developers provide powerful, reliable scripting interfaces to their applications. Furthermore, the availability of new programmer-oriented scripting bridges will help to turn application developers into users as well, and there's nothing like becoming a fan of a technology (and/or experiencing its deficiencies in person) to make a developer want to support and improve it him/herself.


What I don't know is how good SB actually is, seeing as I'm too poor to afford a paid ADC account and anyone who can is currently under NDA, so we'll all just have to wait till Leopard ships to find out the answer to that. However, if you'd like to do application scripting directly from ObjC, you already can:

http://appscript.sourceforge.net/objc-appscript.html

(Caveat that it's not yet finished, so may contain a few less features and/or a few more bugs than intended. Should be pretty well done in another couple months though.)
