I dont too much about other systems， but as I know from GNUstep[1]
website, GNUstep (This's what NS port for besides MacOSX) has the same
scripting mechanism as MacOSX. The difference is MacOSX use Apple's
proprietary Applescript, while GNUstep uses StepTalk (SmallTalk as
scripting language) and GNUstep-Guile (Guile as scripting language). You
can check GNUstep's Developer Tools page[2].

And it's possible to use other scripting languages as Javascript, Ruby
to do scripting on MacOSX. I suppose it's possible to use other
scripting languages on GNUstep.
