How to find active input language? (keyboard, foreign language)

Questions & Suggestions

There are various script incantations which yield strings like:

"com.apple.keylayout.British"
"com.apple.inputmethod.SCIM.ITABC"
"com.apple.keylayout.Hebrew-QWERTY"
"com.apple.keylayout.Greek"

etc.

For example:

(function () {
    'use strict';

    ObjC.import('Carbon');
    ObjC.bindFunction('CFMakeCollectable', ['id', ['void *']]);

    return $.CFMakeCollectable(
            $.TISGetInputSourceProperty(
                $.TISCopyCurrentKeyboardInputSource(),
                $.kTISPropertyInputSourceID
            )
        )
        .js

})();
