FWIW, there's a nice overview of the Open Scripting Architecture at:

http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/wcook/papers/AppleScript/AppleScript95.pdf

It's not a perfect system and the quantity and quality of support
varies from application to application and language to language, but I
reckon the other *nixes could still learn a thing or two from it.
