I think we are likely to see an OSA mod from the Perl (or Python, or even
PHP) community, which would mean that AS-english would be there for the
simple small / recordable tasks, and the really clever production level
app-driving stuff would be done via a different language altogether - but
that wouldn't change OSA, and programmers would still have to examine the
inconsistent specifics of the classes and interfaces of target
applications.

Thank you, Ric, that seems well-considered.
I think there should be a Perl-OSA implementation, it seems more natural
a combination than JS-OSA, (which exists) for example.
Perhaps someone is already aware of a Perl-OSA development
implementation they could point us to.
Thanks,
