Visit http://freespace.virgin.net/hamish.sanderson/, and click on appscript or rb-appscript for an attempt at combining Python's virtues with application scripting support - a substitute for AppleScript.
But what makes Script Debugger so powerful is the amount of information about what's going on that it reveals, and it's very handy palettes.
Hmm, is there anything here you think we should try to steal? What's handy in the palettes? Have you tried any TextMate snippets? The applescript bundle has some cool ones. When I get around to a screencast showing it off, I'll try to show how they work.

Well, you should be able to make a grammar for that forum that can correctly apply syntax highlighting to things in [applescript] tags (and let you use all the handy applescript snippets, etc.) then. If it's just bbcode otherwise, you could easily extend the existing bbcode grammar to do this (or we could even put it in everyone's bbcode bundle, as I doubt anyone else uses [applescript] to mean something different).
I think it's done in PHP using bbCode bits and pieces - I'll have to get a copy of it from the Ray Barber, and then see if I can interpret figure it out.

You still live around here? [off-topic: If there are other boston-area TM users, it would be neat to do a meetup sometime.]
No, I'm retired to Halifax, Nova Scotia, where my wife and ancestors came from.
