If given the choice between writing AppleScript or Python I'm picking Python. Maybe Python can generate my AppleScript is really as close as I want to be to App

  You can write AppleScript with JavaScript syntax these days, it’s not as Python as Python but it’s substantially less AppleScript than AppleScript.

  Not me—give me AppleScript. I get that it’s fashionable to rag on AppleScript. But for this particular use case—a scriptable app on macOS—AppleScript is the way to go.

    That's actually my point. I don't want to reach for or keep in my brain a programming language (or frankly deep API) that can only ever matter to Apple products while I don't get paid to write the code by Apple. I will gladly take Python instead and use it. A language used by millions to do almost anything with a vast amount of the code being written being shared not just the language and modules. I do not have the time or interest to play with Apples little locked down language to keep their walled garden looking pretty.
