This is what I a currently building into PopClip, and it will be the main platform for PopClip extensions in future.

Before installing from Setapp, first of all quit your non-Setapp edition of PopClip, and delete the app. ![]() It is not really a classic scripting language (thought it can be used like one using node) but its importance to the web means that Apple has paid it a lot of attention.
