No flak intended, AHK is much easier for non-programmers and can do more than you’d think. I’ve show a few people how to rig up an automation in a few minutes. The bar to entry is much lower than for any of the «serious» languages out there. AHK is amazing!
AHK was my introduction to programming. I’m a bad speller and I wanted certain common errors I made corrected automatically. I had a very basic but fully functional program in literally minutes. I spent the next few days adding features, and it was amazing to me how someone with zero programming experience could translate my thoughts to code.
This is what makes AHK special, I’ve never seen anything that can abstract away everything between the code and a fully functional program so well, making it an ideal learning language, especially for children and others with very little technical experience.
I don’t use AHK too much anymore as it’s limited to windows, which is a real shame as I’ve never seen anything better for quickly creating
UI automations and tiny programs extremely quickly.
