@Monomeeth idk. I guess. But why do we allow AppleScript questions but not Swift questions?
(Not saying we should accept Swift questions)
 
Interesting, the bot meta post has gotten +4 and -2. Would like to know reasons for opposition so it can be discussed and voted on.

@JBis primarily because AppleScript scripting (like bash etc) is considered to be end-user-level scripting

@JBis Totally agree with @nohillside - but, just to expand on that a little, we basically encourage AppleScript, Automator, UNIX shell scripting (and even JXA) questions as they're all user level tools that can be used to automate actions in macOS, so in this way they rarely cross the line into being code level questions (e.g. for software development), which of course is off-topic.
I suppose it's a bit like we allow questions specifically about how to use Xcode itself, but not code level questions within Xcode.

Hi @NimeshNeema , hope you're having a nice day! I was just curious, have you done any non-Apple programming (e.g Android, Windows, etc)? As for your Apple experience, what languages?

Hey I am doing fine. Hope you are having a good day too :)

As far as non-Apple programming is concerned, I have done a couple backend projects in Python (still a newbie) and some front-end (not strictly considered as programming).

As far as Apple experience is concerned, loads of iOS app development in Objective-C. Thorough with Foundation and UIKit.

Starting to get good with Swift now.

@nohillside Ok fair enough.

@JBis there might be AppleScript questions which lean heavily towards StackOverflow (and where a migration might be useful). But in general, AS is ok.

Does anyone have recommendations for iPad keyboards compatible with the Mini 5 (2019 gen)? They told me at an Apple reseller that the iPad Mini 4 keyboards aren't compatible since they changed the button layout
sorry, mean keyboard covers
so covers to protect your iPad with a built in keyboard
