I use it in projects semi-frequently, but considering I do almost
everything (including a lot of email and web surfing, believe it or
not) from the command line, I like to automate tasks using Expect, and
find myself doing so quite often.
To be honest, when I added that, I was wondering who was going to
say that Expect and Korn were things I just made up on the spot.
BASh, tcl, and AppleScript are commonly-known, but I wasn't sure about
the others.
You're in good company, Rob!
