Re: What should we do with these?

I’m going to implement it in an open ended fashion. The classes will exist as an abstract representation and it will be possible to implement different “backends” to allow scripting. That way the classes will be there for build compatibility and it will be possible to extend it to use lua and other languages.

Hmmmm... Possibly. I hadn't thought about lua (etc) integration.

Can those be reused for some scripting language other than AppleScript, for example Guile, Lua, _javascript_ (via node.js) or Swift REPL?
