Hmmm - that's all fair! Though I'm not very sure why one would want to execute Applescript on Linux - scripts are typically either so platform-integrated that they're useless on non-Mac platforms or so generic that they're trivially replicated in languages like Python or Ruby.

I'd consider diskutil and plutil vaguely part of the "Xcode toolchain" (as in, using them (especially from outside macOS) is largely geared towards app development). That's certainly a huge use case for Darling - I actually think it would be interesting if they explicitly (but maybe not very loudly?) aimed for giving people access to iOS/macOS development without Mac hardware, rather than trying to be a general-purpose emulation layer.
