Reinventing Usertalk? I'm not bothered about language. What
concerns me is the increasing stupidity of the applications being
produced, which require the user to go back to nursery school and
spend his time frigging about with mice and menus. Here
<http://www.x-tables.eu/>, for example, we have a new spreadsheet
program. Very nice, and no doubt a bit prettier than Multiplan. Do
your efforts provide any crutches for this lame creation? Do they
enable the user to add a scripts menu to the app, as Frontier did, or
to understand Apple events, no matter what mechanism you use to
generate them? What contribution have you made to enable the author
of the mailer you've only just abandoned to replicate its unequalled
power in Cocoa? And is your switch to Mail.crap a signal that we
shall soon be able to get the properties of the message in the the
front window by some simple magic? AppScript, Mac::Carbon, Ruby
bridges -- fine! What difference does it make if nothing is
listening?
