I find this a very reasonable wish and I would like to second it. It's a pity we have to write tenths of lines - or use libraries or osaxen - because the core AppleScript is so poor.
Think about javascript's built-in stuff... Operations on arrays, on strings, on associative arrays... Regular expressions... The Date and Math objects...
More built-in power might help our language look more modern and seduce more users.
