Add script alternate in other languages / emulators

[kaustubhhiware]

We can make full use of the inherit advantages of other languages, by adding alternatives in different languages.

Some alternatives off the top could be python, ruby, javascript.

The python alternate is relatively easy to add.

I don't understand. Would these alternatives (say, the Python one) actually implement the same things as the bash script on it's own, or just call all the bash script lines with os?

[kaustubhhiware]

No, there are alternatives including pynotify module. It is possible the notification system in some languages does not use the default library (although I'm not sure of it), so let's see.

Just thought I'd share the resources I gathered for Ruby. 😄

This Ruby gem seems to make it easier for having a Ruby script that takes care of the Mac part (using terminal-notifier dependency, I checked - it works). Not sure about this gem for the notify-send part though - it showed me a socket error.
