AppleScript existed on System 7 - I used to use it like a very limited command line (scripting common activities and complex workflows.) The fun thing about it was that you were essentially interfacing with the GUI. Everything was incredibly discoverable - if you knew something was possible then it was almost always obvious how to do it in AppleScript.
