AppleScript: It’s easy because you write it like natural English! Sort of. We’ll it’s not really natural English. It also doesn’t have semantics that make sense for a programming language. Good luck!

Hey but don't worry, it has great documentation, in the form of question posts from 2006 on "MacOSXHints" that may or may not have been answered!

Also don't worry, you can write AppleScript in JavaScript syntax too! Too bad 100% of the code samples out there to help you are in the "other" syntax :D

I never had another interpreter that I had to learn by manually fuzzing it. AppleScript makes bash look like F#.
