> AutoIt v3

AutoHotkey is available and open source but the custom scripting language is off-putting, I would much rather have something like standard JavaScript for it. If this project moves forward in that direction it could be great.

I grew up on AutoHotkey but yeah, the syntax is very strange. It's actually based on AutoIt v2. The closest language (syntax wise) is Assembly, and that's silly.

AutoHotkey is avalible, but only on Windows. I don't think I would have made this if AutoHotkey was cross platform.
