Being inspired by old third-party scripting environments such as AutoIt or AutoHotkey, I've developed my own scripting environment for Windows. I've always been fascinated by creating an own programming language and I made the syntax in a way it feels more like something that contains a personal flavor. The language matured over the years and I both use it for administration and automation tasks, but also for fully scripted applications as well. On the homepage, you'll find various production scripts as well as links to scripted applications. The scripting environment is free and open-source software, released under the MIT license. | ||||||||

That's awesome. Earlier today I was pondering the strengths of Apple's Shortcuts app, Automator, and AppleScript versus Microsoft's Office Script, PowerShell, and various other options in that space. I couldn't think of anything designed to automate both native apps and functionality on Windows but here you go exceeding my expectations with a tool that occupies the sweet spot. | ||||||||
