AppleScript can be a royal PITA with the syntax differences. You might want to read up on ASOC, AppleScript Objective-C. Shane Stanley has written a load on that (books too) and there is an ASOC dev mailing list that he frequents.
Mailing list:
ASObjC <email@hidden>

By the way, if you do want to check out XPC, there is a good tutorial on objc.io here:
http://www.objc.io/issue-14/xpc.html
Good luck,
Alex Zavatone
