Yeah, I suspect I was a bit unclear there!

I'm pretty familiar with ObjC-Javascript integration and have been working with it for a while. This change offers a nice direct system interface for automation, and one that has access to all of Cocoa.

I also didn't intend to put Javascript down at all - its more that the more complex part of building a MacOS app is working with Cocoa, and Javascript will make that more complex, rather than simpler, just because of the impedance mismatch.

I'm not sure there's a compelling use case for building such apps, but it's still pretty cool!

I think you were being downvoted because some people (myself included) roll their eyes when they hear about Javascript yet again. It goes double when there is a good language already out there (I accept Objective C with its warts. Swift actually has me excited to make something).

It actually kind of cool. And the Temperature Converter example showed a lot of the dynamic nature of the objective C runtime. This one presentation actually piqued my interest in looking at os x scripting.

After a quick search I couldn't (readily) find any links about writing Mac apps in Javascript. The Strongloop seems to be for iOS7 only. Where would I find out more about this?
