Zing! You're right about AppleScript's oddball syntax, and there's also 
HyperTalk and ScriptX and Dylan and Sk8, not to mention Objective C!
And we could even go back to Integer Basic and the Sweet 16 virtual 
machine and the 6502 mini-assembler.
Apple loves oddball syntaxes, but totally forgets what they did in the 
past.
