Any good online courses/resources to learn AppleScript?
If you're interested in learning JXA, the Apple-provided resources for it are abysmal, but there's a community-driven cookbook on GitHub that does a nice job of outlining the way things work.

Inline AppleScript Documentation
Helpful Article. OSA is one more area where Apple's documentation is woefully lacking by now. For using JavaScript instead of AppleScript, I don't find any docs at apple.com, but on GitHub: https://github.com/JXA-Cookbook/JXA-Cookbook/wiki#table-of-c....

Tutorial on Automation with the Stream Deck?
There's a JavaScript version called JXA (JavaScript for Automation). This is my preferred variant because, being JavaScript, it complies with more traditional syntax for programming languages. Unfortunately, Apple did a lousy job of documenting it, so most of what we have is community-driven. The JXA Cookbook is a solid resource for the topic.

Is there an easier way to use applescript?
You can access the OSA (open scripting architecture) using different programming languages, not just AppleScript. Look into JavaScript for Automation (JXA), https://github.com/JXA-Cookbook/JXA-Cookbook/wiki

Is there an easier way to use applescript?
I'm working on creating sort of a wrapper for the UI elements (dialogs, alerts, notifications) of applescript with Python. Check it out: https://github.com/ninest/aquaui

Things Applescript Should Have
The one really agree with is the editor, and having to learn a new language for simple scripting. For that reason, I'm working on creating a wrapper for AppleScript with Python https://github.com/ninest/aquaui, if you're interested. With this, I can use AppleScript for input/output by showing dialogs and notifications while also leveraging the power of Python and its many libraries
