The sick power!

Wow, Apple completely integrated AppleScript. For the first time ever
it seems, AppleScript can actually be used to enhance an application
without using AppleEvents. This has me so excited. THE POWER! Can you
imagine what will be possible if you can set AppleScript to handle
certain application events? Sadly, it seems this interface is only
available to cocoa applications. If you think Cocoa is RAD, imagine
it with AppleScript ;)

You can even call ObjC from within AppleScript:

call method "performClick:" of object (button 1 of window 1) with
parameters {button 2 of window 2}

Oh, one bummer!

Note: AppleScript Studio and applications you build with AppleScript
Studio work only with Mac OS X version 10.1.2 or later.

I wonder if this will have any security exploits.
