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?
I can write the pitch; just not the salesman to deliver it.
I sent an off-list braindump to Simon T earlier after he asked me same
questions. As concised and focused as you'd expect, though contains the
raw makings of a case. I recommended he repost it here for others'
benefit—after he's edited it down into something digestible, of course.
Perhaps he can oblige, else can you please go check him for a pulse on
Monday? :)
Mmmm, wonder who else around here's equipped to digest doorstop-sized
tomes...
