How does the automation of Excel work on the Mac since there is no COM on mac? Is there some Applescript alternative ?

Office apps on the Mac are automated using Scripting Bridge [1]. Applescript is one way to drive a scriptable app, but Python and other languages can also use the bridge. I built a substantial Word addin on the Mac in C# on Mono, using the Scripting Bridge.
