So you're saying AppleScript is not a programming language?
I think it's you that is wrong, not Matt.
The definition of a programming language is not one that has 'a fixed syntax
that you can rely on to work every time in every situation'.
What you're referring to is how strictly typed a programming language is.
Some are strict, some are loose.
Maybe in your mind strict languages are 'better', but that does not mean the
loose ones are not programming languages.
