Hi

Hopefully some of you more programming-capable people will be able to help me.

Is it worth learning Javascript, apart from the platform compatability? Is it a more complete programming language compared to AppleScript? Can you either do more with it, or is it easier to do things than with AppleScript?

Your thoughts would be appreciated.
