Or perhaps "better late than never"?
One thing those notes don't mention (but probably should) is that OS X
support for third-party OSA languages is effectively dead now. While
third-party support for Apple event/OSA technology was pretty much
spannered after 10.6 legacy-ed the Carbon Apple event APIs anyway,
10.8 goes much further by aggressively deprecating the Component
Manager which, amongst other things, was the system used to package
third-party languages as OSA components.
In practice, the effects of this change are limited since the only OSA
language components still in existence are AppleScript - which, being
Apple-owned, can make its own alternate arrangements - and Late Night
Software's 'AppleScript Debugger' component, which I can't speak for.
I do notice though that the 10.8 developer docs and 10.9 preview
<http://images.apple.com/osx/preview/docs/OSX_Mavericks_Core_Technology_Overview.pdf>
still indicate other OSA languages are actively supported (or even
exist), so the AS team ought to speak to the documentation folks about
correcting that.
