I dont too much about other systems， but as I know from GNUstep[1] website, GNUstep (This's what NS port for besides MacOSX) has the same scripting mechanism as MacOSX. The difference is MacOSX use Apple's proprietary Applescript, while GNUstep uses StepTalk (SmallTalk as scripting language) and GNUstep-Guile (Guile as scripting language). You can check GNUstep's Developer Tools page[2]. And it's possible to use other scripting languages as Javascript, Ruby to do scripting on MacOSX. I suppose it's possible to use other scripting languages on GNUstep.
