Subject: Folder actions

Hi all,
I need to have a script run every time a file is added to a folder on  
OS X, I have found out that this can be done with applescript but I  
can't for the life of me figure out how to write anything that works  
in that language. Weirdest thing I have ever come across. I've seen  
people refer to it as a "read only language" and I tend to agree.

Is there any way I can attach a ruby script instead? Or does anyone  
know of an example of how to get a ruby script running from  
applescript with the name of the just added file as argument?

Does anyone know if apple is gonna support something more usable than  
applescript as a scripting language in a future version of their OS?

Thank you!
