  Dear Applescript
  
  You're a retarded buggy undocumented piece of shit. Please fuck off and
  die slowly and painfully, impaled on a rusty shit-smeared spike.
  
  The same goes for the utter fuckwits who designed you. I hope their
  families die too so they can't spread whatever defective genes spawned a
  moron like you.
  
  Hugs n Glasgow kisses

  While HyperTalk was tolerable (IIRC), whoever thought extending the
  language outside of its environment into the realm of system and
  application automation/glue was a good idea really does deserve
  special attention.
  
  OSA scripting support is hateful enough on its own (though it
  continues to tease me with the potential of usefulness). Adding the
  AppleScript language on top of that keeps me away from Script Editor
  for months at a time.

  That's why I wrote a whole Perl framework to do OSA scripting using
  standard OSA vocabulary, but without the AppleScript syntax etc.  Perl may
  be hateful, OSA may be hateful, but AppleScript is beyond hateful.
