Happy to read this!
IMHO writing applescript is too tedious and slow to get anything
useful done, especially for text processing. Bindings to a real
unixish scripting language would be way nicer... my preference goes to
Ruby, but an ObjC API would enable more language-agnostic access
(Python has Apple-provided ObjC support, don't know for Perl)

Also that API doesn't have to be so low-level as in Emacs to be
useful... I don't need mail clients or games in TextMate ;-)
