It starts that way. But when your questions are all answered with "Cocoa
makes everything better, and all things come from Cocoa", well, after a
while, you realize that Carbon is for scripting and Cocoa is for pretty UIs.

Apple *does* have a problem with AppleScript. They *do* treat it like a toy,
and I'll bet ten bucks right now, that you won't see it in any new versions
of any pro applications released in 2003.

Like I've said before, it's really quite sad when the best examples in class
of application scripting pretty much all come from outside of Apple.
