AppleScript is primarily an inter-application processing system, designed to exchange data between and control other applications in order to automate repetitive tasks. AppleScript has some limited processing abilities of its own - basic calculation abilities, and some more intricate text processing tools - and is extensible, allowing the addition of scripting additions which add new functions to the language itself. Mainly, however, AppleScript relies on the built-in functionalities of other applications and processes to handle complex tasks. AppleScript has some elements of object-oriented programming, particularly in the construction of script objects, and some lisp-like natural language processing tendencies, but fails to conform to either category properly. |
