Ok, I can try to learn in my spare time, but there's not much of it due to the 5 other projects I have going on right now, all of which are as big as this one. Oh, and to answer your question "What else?," I would be referring to Java or some random Linux language that I'm not familiar with. There's also old crap like VB and stuff.
Well I'll post with updates on my progress.

Got another idea: we could make a programme that translates ahk to bash/C++/Python - I think it would be fast, too, and the programmes could be used on much more systems - recompile and run!
For this we only need to find commands in those languages that can be used instead of the ahk commands - for example a process could be killed with the line "killall processname" - with some extended features like regular expressions, case-insensitive search - we should have a try, shouldn't we?

Sounds good to me, only once again I know nothing in CSS/Bash/Python. I'm even busier than I thought it would be, so I won't be much help right now. Keep posting with updates though and when I can finally help I'll try to.

I read two books in the last two weeks: One about Shell-Scripting and one about Python.
If I compare them with C++, I can say:

C++:
Fast, portable, but has to be re-compiled for every system.

Shell:
Different shells offer different commands, e.g. the Bash has more commands than the ksh, which has more commands than some other shells.

Python:
Easy to learn, write and read, fast execution, hasn't to be re-compiled for every system.

So I would write it in Python, or a AHK-Python-Converter - we should vote.
