It was the other way around. AutoIt is older than AHK. My understanding was that a developer wanted to add "hotkey" functionality to AutoIt and this didn't garner much interest from the AutoIt folks.
So, the developer then decided to create AutoHotkey which was source compatible with AutoIt v2. The rest I'm a little hazy on. I believe that it was this fork that led to AutoIt switching to closed source.
They both have been in development for years now after the switch and I don't believe that AHK maintains scripting compatibility with AutoIt any longer. They have diverged at this point.
