I should probably point out that writing your own bridge from scratch  
is a bit of a PITA, even using existing appscript implementations for  
reference. However, I'm currently preparing objc-appscript so it can  
be used to implement native appscript APIs for languages that already  
have ObjC bridges. This should reduce the amount of code you need to  
write by about 80% as long as you're happy to build on top of an  
existing CL-ObjC bridge.

I'd recommend grabbing a copy of the objc-appscript trunk from svn  
along with whatever CL-ObjC bridges you can find and see if you can  
access the mid-level AEM API from CL okay (see the aem manual and  
sample projects for details). By the time you've done that I should  
have the remaining details figured out and will be happy to discuss  
how to wrap it with a native high-level API.
