OS-X rocks. Applescript is stagnant by comparison. There's only so long you
can wait to be able to add a gui to your scripts, interface with to the web,
access a decent function library, have native key:value data types, built in
database access, etc etc. before just giving up and moving to something like
php to get your work done because it already has all this.
Trouble is that you then lose all the intrinsic memorability of applescript
as well as application control. Which is sad.
Soo.. No one peed in my cornflakes, I just don't see any strategic vision
for applescript, certainly nothing like what we see from php. Hence millions
of php scripts and a few hundred, increasingly archival applescripts.
Sad waste of opportunity.
