Now I'm trying to learn AppleScript and finding that it has some OO stuff
going on but it seems to get obfuscated by the plain english thing.

Speaking from another person who comes from more experience with languages that have "traditional" syntax (C-derived), I'm having the same problems. AS seems just too verbose -- I know that to an extent verbosity is good, but this is difficult for me to pick up. Even Python, IMO, has more readable "english-like" syntax.

Obviously having some background with other languages, I'm biased. I'm trying out the JavaScript OSA since I feel more comfortable with that syntax, but it seems somehow incomplete -- I still need to learn about AS's libraries in order to use it.
