Re: [GD-General] JavaScript as a scripting language

[Kent Q. <ken...@co...>]

I'd be interested in hearing why you find JavaScript at all appealing. 
Appalling would be more like it, IMO. I think it's a nasty little 
language...but I've got an open mind. :-)

Given Python and Lua (and especially given that you've already used Lua, 
IIRC) why would you want to use anything else -- especially JavaScript?
