At least it has Lisp and Scripts available ... now is that Lisp or AutoLisp I wonder ??

My guess is they did similar to what Bricsys did for their lisp engine in the port to linux, and that's reroute all the VL calls to AutoCAD objects through internal functions rather than COM.  Probably won't be able to connect to external apps though.

Kean just posted a little about the code available in this version of AutoCAD for Mac:
http://through-the-interface.typepad.com/through_the_interface/2010/09/autocad-for-mac.html

He said that "For now that means a subset of ObjectARX and AutoLISP will be available to developers and customers working on AutoCAD for Mac". This was clarified in a comment that the subset is more connected to MFC UI and COM calls.

Hopefully more will be made available but this is definitely interesting.
