Simple example:

Code:

ButtonGo_ZBHacks: Run, http://mybbhacks.zingaburga.com Return

Ultimately just a function call.  In most languages, you could just:

C Code

ShellExec("http://example.com/");

Agreed Zinga, plus (as shown above) it has also evolved some the last couple years.

Interesting - didn't know all that, thanks.

Lifehacker tends to have some decent ahk scripts too.

How much it goes on in the future, we'll have to see.  There is somewhat a rise in scripting languages these days, but at the moment, .NET would have a far higher support base, including job positions etc.
