And now we have the proper question, "how do we tell Apple how useful AppleScript is to us and how it makes/saves us money and in turn, makes them money"?

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.

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.
