OS X - it's a great scripting OS.

You can use PERL, Ruby, Python, PHP, Shell Scripting, Javascript and others along with MySQL, ProstegesSQL and CRON, Regular Expressions, other CLI commands.....
And you can glue it all together with Applescript. You can fill in holes or stitch them to "normal" applications - Photoshop, InDesign, Create...

We use one Mac on OS X and iDo Script Scheduler to take care of numerous production and server maintenance tasks.

Plus, it seems new - at least to Mac - developers are more aware about getting their applications to work with other applications and into workflow. Perhaps they realize people work in more than one program.

Never short of an opinion,
Ron Bishop

I have noticed a marked upturn in private e-mails to my AppleScript
Sourcebook web site in the last few weeks, from people inquiring about the
best way to learn AppleScript.

I've used the incoming newbie e-mail rate for years as an informal barometer
of the popularity of our scripting language. I'm always delighted to see an
upturn. I wonder what it's due to, this time around. Any ideas?
