Yeah, it'd be nicer to do this in JS, but could you keep the nice integration with the OS, like the script menu, folder actions, and could you trick apps that ask for the location of an AS to run a JS with minimal hackery? I know AppleScript does some weird compilation magic thing, does that means there's a way to write things in JS then have them work as if they were AS is OS X? I don't really know where to look for this info, I'd apppreciate it if somebody had a clear yes/no/somewhat answer
