Happy 25th Birthday, AppleScript

Chris Espinosa:

On this day 25 years ago, Apple introduced AppleScript, a system and application automation system and language. It’s still shipping in Mojave and is one of the oldest code bases in continual use in macOS. Happy birthday, AppleScript!

Previously: AEDeterminePermissionToAutomateTarget Added, But AEpocalyse Still Looms.

Update (2018-10-05): Mark Alldritt:

Script Debugger 1.0 was released shortly after AppleScript 1.0 appeared. Its been a long ride as AppleScript has made its way from the Classic MacOS to MacOS X and most recently macOS Mojave.

Good to know I’m not the only senile decrepit old fool that’s still on the go.

Now tell AppleScript to get off my lawn!
