  AppleScript - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AppleScript was vying for developer attention along with many other new technologies introduced at the same time (balloon help, publish and subscribe, etc.).
AppleScript Studio is a development environment, which comes free with Mac OS X, which uses AppleScript as the primary programming language, in conjunction with the Cocoa framework used to construct graphical user interfaces.
AppleScript was implemented as a scripting component, and the basic specs for interfacing such components to the OSA were public, allowing other developers to add their own scripting components to the system.

 Categorical list of programming languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Interpreted languages are programming languages which programs may be executed from source code form, by an interpreter.
Procedural programming languages are based on the concept of the unit and scope (the data viewing range of an executable code statement).
Stack-based languages are a type of data-structured language that are based upon the stack data structure.

 Danny Goodman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His The Complete AppleScript Handbook (1993, Random House) is also notable as an important early work on the AppleScript programming language.
Goodman began writing about electronics and computers in the late 1970s, and became a full-time author in 1981.
Having received critical acclaim with his Macintosh-related works, especially on scripting via HyperCard and AppleScript, he turned his attention to the new scripting language of the Internet, JavaScript, and related technologies such as HTML and Cascading Style Sheets.

 Web Programming
The resultant Web programming languages show their ancestry in their syntax, computational and data model, and implementation style (subject to the design constraints discussed in the previous section), and as a result, there are a fair number of distinct approaches taken.
Programming the Internet in Ada 95 describes efforts by Intermetrics, the principle Ada compiler vendor, to retarget its compiler to generate Java byte-code, in the interest of making the vast body of Ada software suitable for the web.

(Well, actually, APL does have loops, but they're not used much, and are not normally used for the same purposes as in other languages.) But HTML of course has loops, anyway.
For example, a language whose only looping structure were equivalent to dotimes wouldn't be Turing equivalent, even though it would have looping.

 The Language List - Version 2.4, January 23, 1995
Other languages have purposely omitted essential features like I/O from their definition because they were never intended to be used without a standard library (C) or interface (Smalltalk-80), or because they constitute the command language for a particular product or system.

 Programming Language Web Page
Often you hear about some programming language and you'd like to get a quick overview of that language--not a whole course in how to use it, but some indication of what it does, what it looks like, where it's used, and so on.
Any language for this project must be a Turing-equivalent programming language, and it can't be a language that was done last quarter or one of these popular languages: Ada, Basic, C, C++, Cobol, Fortran, Java, Pascal, Prolog, or Scheme.
Once you reserve a language, you may not change your choice, so it's a good idea to do a bit of preliminary research to make sure the language you ask for is the one you want to stay with.
