I suspect that has a lot to do with the difficulty of writing 'libs'
or 'mods' for AppleScript IN APPLESCRIPT. There's no simple
"include"/"require"/"use" directive, so unless you're willing to go
learn how to write an OSAX (in some non-AppleScript language), it's
very difficult to modularize AS code. Imagine how much smaller CPAN
would be if the only way to write a Perl module were to use XS!
