It is always a refreshing change when switching context from an obtuse programming language to the English-like syntax of AppleScript. The syntax is nearly identical to the generally accepted format of pseudocode, and is thus worthy of continued development for that fact alone. I, as a Software Engineer, have found myself repeatedly returning to AppleScript since I first took the time to learn it years ago, not only for its fantastic and unmatched automation capabilities, but also as the perfect platform for writing executable pseudocode. It has built a “reputation” of being loathed by programmers. Over the years, certain loud individuals have given the impression that AppleScript is clunky and, although useful, needs to go the way of the dinosaur. It has always been one of the pillars of what makes a Mac a Mac, and what makes a Mac stand out from the crowd.

TL DR - If you’d like to see Apple resume development of AppleScript, please reply ‘I agree’ below.ĪppleScript as a scripting language is one of the most beautiful, unique, and unparalleled features of macOS and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
