KosmicTask

KosmicTask is an integrated scripting environment for Mac OS X. Whilst Mac OS X supports a number of scripting technologies either via it’s UNIX roots (Shell scripting , Perl etc.) or via Cocoa Framework Scripting using Apple’s scripting bridge (Applescript, Ruby, Python etc.) you can end up using a different script editor for each scripting language. KosmicTask allows you to script in a wide variety of languages from within a single editor. KosmicTask uses a plugin architecture that allows it to support a range of scripting languages, details of the languages supported by KosmicTask are shown below:-

KosmicTask also supports another very capable means of achieving automation - appscript. Appscript is supported by both Ruby and Python an alternative to the ScriptingBridge. 

It also allows sharing of scripts with other KosmicTask users via the local shared network.
