  the syntax is definitely an acquired taste for developers who come from an Algol-derived background, but it's hard to argue with the readability, even if writing it is a bit unintuitive at first applescript is also based on hypertalk, and I believe it suffered being too wide open and unfocused hyperscript is much more tightly focused on DOM manipulation and event handling, so my hope is that it doesn't suffer from the usability issues that can creep in when using AppleTalk it's an experiment, so let's find out
