Way back when Steve Jobs returned to Apple and was axing technologies left and right, Cal Simone went to visit him and -- to hear Cal tell the story -- single handidly convinced Steve to retain AppleScript. I believe Cal's pitch was mainly that the publishing industry was an established Mac customer enclave, large enough to matter, and that it was one industry that was utterly dependent on AppleScript.

Is there an analogous pitch today? What is it? Who can make it with the right tone of rationality, realism and business sense?

On the other hand, I don't buy the idea that the elimination of Sal's position has anything to do with the impending death of AppleScript. I've been listening to moans about the impending death of AppleScript for more than 20 years.
