Dots aren't so bad though; I've found y'get used to them pretty
quickly (even if I do sometimes still get a bit homesick for a good
old 'of' now and again). There's quite a lot of very civil high-level
languages that use them these days, and I'll personally take 'em over
nested brackets a-la Smalltalk/ObjC any day.


Huh? You're comparing apples and oranges!

Square brackets are used for deferred execution in Smalltalk and Objective C. Neither C, nor AppleScript even implement the concept -- at least to the extent that Smalltalk does. (A handler is NOT semantically equivalent to a block.)
