Thanks for your reply, Shane.
Although I was just looking for "insider's feed",
any kind of criticism, such as yours, is also what I need.
I think you have a point. On app scripting side, language isn't as important
as the APIs. But I wonder how different those API can be. Will _javascript_
have access to all the services that AppleScript enjoyed for years? Questions like those.
I think maybe waiting for the new OS to find out is the way to go.
My main concerns are
1. Will they be functionally equivalent?
2. Will migration be easy.
Worst comes worst they can work as external processes with each other.
I only script apps occasionally, so I just wanna get things done.
If AppleScript is going to stay and there are interoperability and easy migration
with _javascript_s, then there will be no trouble at all.
Btw, I just wrote an iTunes script in AppleScript for a "serious" task today.
It took some StackOverflow research but I think I can get by with the language.
I also learned basic _javascript_ in about an hour, though I haven't done anything useful with it.
So I guess I am a little relieved now.

Beinan
