Interesting article. I didn't know about AutoHotkey but now that I know this I want to learn about it.

It's a Windows high-level programming/scripting language that has sort of a bad reputation as a game cheating tool, but there are more cheat tools written in C and Assembly than any other language. People will also tell you there are better languages (like Python), but I prefer AHK over all! I can write the same full gui program in AutoHotkey and Python and the AHK version is 1-2MB while the super refactored Python version with all extras stripped will still be 15-20mbs and the AHK version will run faster half of the time no matter how much you refactor. AHK is a POWERFUL language for windows programming/automation.
