Thank you for the reply Shane,
>> I just bought "Everyday ApplescriptObjC 3ed" yesterday and was left to wonder what is the possibility that Apple would release an ApplescriptSwift to replace ApplescriptObjC ?

> First, thank you. I greatly appreciate the support. I suspect such a thing highly unlikely in the foreseeable future. Apart from anything else, AppleScriptObjC relies on many of the dynamic features of Objective-C that don't exist in Swift. With some exceptions, Objective-C is a nice fit for AppleScript. Longer term, who knows? But it's not as if AppleScript scripters are missing out on anything.
Ok.
> OTOH, Hamish Sanderson is working on a Swift front-end for scripting, so maybe something like that will be a more feasible option.
I had to search the web for that...

>> Also, "AppleScriptObjC Explored" still only covers Xcode 5 and "unfortunately updating the book is not feasible at this time." Is there a time frame when it would be reasonable to expect an update ?

> Unfortunately it really needs a complete re-write, and the time-frame for such a thing is driven by economics. I'd be misleading you to suggest there was much chance of it happening at all, simply because there isn't much demand.
Too bad.
Now I need to dive into your book and see what I can do with that !!!
