No doubt. But this is *entirely orthogonal* what you said before:
>>> Just a reminder that if you want to let Apple know how useful AS is
... logging lots of bug reports and requests is the way to make Apple
people other than the AS team aware that there are users out there.
Bug reports only tell them it's broken, not whether it's worth fixing[1].
Bums on seats is what matters, and the AS team could hardly be doing a
worse job on that. Please stop carrying water for them, Shane; it's way
past time they manned up and faced their mistakes.

[1] Which in JXA's case it certainly isn't[2]. It'd be quicker, easier,
cheaper, and better for Apple to shitcan the existing implementation and
replace it outright. Or hell, just shitcan JXA entirely, return to their
original plan of having app developers embed JSCore directly, and stop
wasting *everyone's* time with this amateur hour piss-about.
[2] It took me four years, a couple thousand hours, twenty-odd
significant version releases (including a full throwout and rewrite),
dog knows how many bugfix releases, and hundreds of users including
myself hammering on it daily, to turn appscript from naive suck to
production-quality software, so I know the difference between fixable
and FUBAR. And the fault is with the people as much as the code. I'm not
kidding when I say I'm the only person on the planet who knows how to do
it right, has done it right, and is appalled that this should be the case.
