I don't see AppleScript panned on this list:)
I find AppleScript very easy to move/manipulate data through various applications. The syntax is
no more difficult than talking to someone from the East Coast:) Maybe slightly easier than
understanding someone from Texas:)You don't need to be a programmer.
I guess you're limited to the AppleScript support built into the applications or the OSAX
additions. Some applications allow you to bypass dialog boxes...
As for Java, I don't know.
