I think if Apple really asks the question in this way, they are embarking on a
dangerous course (this way lies J*va). I'd prefer if there were a clean,
comprehensive *interface* accessible from Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk, Frontier,
Applescript, Guile, Mindy, Lua, and whoever else might want to come along.

Something like OSA, unburdened of its Component Manager heritage and sanely
documented, would do just fine for me.
