I've started programming using Autohotkey, I just wanted a script for age of empire 2 to manage where catapult can efficiency dispatch attacks. After that I made a bot that can auto fold poker hands, it worked, with AHK you can search image on the screen and get position of the matched image. After that I made a fully functional and autonomous poker bot
many years later I am now a software engineer, I just wanted to manage my catapult on Age of empire 2 ....
So AHK is very powerfull, easy langage and awesome !
Yeah. I think it's also a perfect example of scope creep done right. As I understand, its original purpose was closer to remapping Caps Lock to CTRL, not to let you write a whole tiling window manager[0] for Windows in it. But now it can do both, and established itself as the unofficial Windows scripting language.
