- ridiculous_fish 7y agoAppleScript pairs a concise writing syntax with a verbose reading syntax. The writable->readable translation is done automatically on save - think first-class clang-format. As a simple example you can write an if block with `if...end`, and this will be automatically rewritten as `if...end if`. I wish every language had built-formatting and also made the reading/writing distinction!
