I'm curious if the switch was for dev ergonomics or the mindshare of the languages?

Mostly the former, but the latter is also attractive. Once I got the basic core working and a couple of modules implemented, I had Claude build me a script that extracts type information and method signatures, to automatically build a TypeScript definition file.

I have a feeling that letting people do what Hammerspoon can do, but in a TypeScript environment that they're much more likely to know, than Lua, will be huge for the project.
