I've never seen any, O'R just says they are being implemented.

Well, yeah. I will script BBEdit (which has good regex stuff) before using
Perl. And as all MacPerl dudes *hate* AppleScript, I must not be much of a
MacPerler...

Back in the day I tried NewtonScript, which apparently takes quite a bit
from stuff like Smalltalk and Squeak. I was able to get it to work for me,
but I guess I'm a very procedural guy -- again, not that I'm a real
programmer, I just do some small stuff to help people get stuff done.
