Learn JavaScript but do not forget AppleScript. I have quite a lot of projects where I use both. AppleScript mainly to trigger JavaScript (with doScript) and to talk to non-Adobe Apps. (And I also use RealBasic when I need a user interface that is a bit more complex than JS or AS allow me to build.)
I personally was very sceptical about JavaScript but once you get used to it has some advantages over AS (mainly that there is no deceptive "simplicity".)
Shane is right though with his remarks on ESTK. It is more fun working with AS.
