"Excel... has pretty good AppleScript support"

Hahaha. Thanks for making me snort my coffee! I needed that! :)

Excel's AppleScript 'support' is a near-perfect example of what you scrape off the floor of the pigsty when you mix VBA Script, AppleScript and a healthy dose of Satan's vomit and feed it to the hogs.
It's second only to Word's AppleScript 'support'. No coincidence.

(I'm not a fan, in case you can't tell)

You can make a nice input layout and output format and use Applescript or Filemaker scripting to handle the processing.  Either of these would probably be better than tying to reinvent the wheel with AS, even using ASOC.
