Dear god, why? Don’t I have to suffer enough in my day job?

For real though this is a cool project despite my own personal JavaScript fatigue.

Maybe you could write it in Haxe and compile to JS?

It could be worse, it could have been AppleScript.

Wouldn't that be better? Anything you can script with AppleScript (OSA) you can also script with JavaScript, but not the other way around.
