I was planning on making a thread on AppleScript (and AppleScriptObjC) which evolved from SK8 & SK8Script

AppleScript should maybe be considered an xTalk, though I've recently read that AppleScript actually evolved more from Mac Common Lisp via the SK8 project and SK8Script than it did from HyperTalk. Kevin Calhoun once said "AppleScript is LISP in disguise" and I'd guess he knows a lot about it.

SK8 was never publicly released but I've read people at Apple were using it internally.

SK8 is a "pain-in-the-bum" as seems unable to run under the MacOS 10.1 to 10.4 'Classic' system,
but has to either be run on a machine running echt MacOS 7 - 9 or, presumably inside Sheep Shaver
or Basilisk.
