What is Applescript?
1.
Wow... I used to think that Microsoft Visual Basic was the simplest and least powerful language... boy, do I stand corrected.
I can think of several Apple fans who believe that they are intelligent (or "1337") because they can write scripts in this worthless, powerless "language".
Guess what you idiots? Not only does being able to code in AppleScript NOT make you any more intelligent or computer-literate than you might have been before learning it, believing that AppleScript is in any way useful, complex or powerful makes you less computer-literate. A fucking MONKEY could code in AppleScript you idiots...
Here is an AppleScript sample:
on helloWorld()
display dialog "Hello World!" buttons {"OK"}
end helloWorld
helloWorld()
Here is a Microsoft Visual Basic code sample:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
MsgBox "Hello World!", vbOKOnly, "Hello"
End Sub
It doesn't require much knowledge of programming to be able to tell from this code sample that even Microsoft Visual Basic, for all its simplicity, is far more powerful and complex than AppleScript.
