Wow. A well-known iOS developer writes a clear and thoughtful article on making a Mac app scriptable…

<http://www.objc.io/issue-14/scripting-data.html>

Excerpt:

"Scripting isn’t a matter of automating button clicks; it’s about exposing the model layer to people who could use your app in their workflows.

While that’s usually a small minority of users, they’re power users — the kind of people who recommend apps to friends and family. They blog and tweet about apps, and people listen to them. They can be your app’s biggest evangelists.

Overall, the best reason to add scripting support is that it’s a matter of professionalism. But it doesn’t hurt that the effort is worth the reward.”

Thank you, Brent Simmons, for writing such a positive and insightful article. Very much needed!
