The unexpected return of JavaScript for Automation
I still use it a lot, particularly in unit tests and configuration. Take the tests of the CSV package, for example https://github.com/adaltas/node-csv/blob/master/packages/csv..., once you get used to its syntax, it is easier to read than plain JS. For Nikita, TypeScript would be appealing for code completion. In term of type checking, it will be double usage since all arguments are checked at runtime with JSON schema.

The unexpected return of JavaScript for Automation
A, and by the way. Inevitably with a decent and widespread language you want to use third-party libraries, especially seeing as there are thousands of them by now. Well, apparently you can load .scpt libraries—presumably done in either AppleScript or Javascript—but you can't just load a JS module from a file. There's a project that wraps JXA and uses Browserify to cram additional libraries down JXA's throat by merging them with the main script: https://github.com/johnelm/node-jxa
