Title: AppleScript as programming language

Finally I found out why AppleScript is not recognized - it was not marked as a programming language.

While .applescript is plaint text and to be considered as a programming language, .scpt is not - it's binary, the compiled version of the applescript.
However, there is still a sample file with extension scpt in the directory and I don't want to bother anyone, so I left it there.
To be precise, it should be removed, because it contains plaint text.

I considered adding a new type: "Applescript compiled" or something like that with type: data, but since there is no lexer available and bin/linguist complained about that, I left it.
