I believe that any scripting language is as good as the next depending on your skill level, what you are using it for and your knowledge from the past.  You cannot say that something is not worth learning because everything that you learn adds to wht you can do in the future.  It is not for you to say that a scripting language is not worthy of being learnt because all are as they are all stepping stones so people can make great programs in the future.

The likes of pascal is quite useless as there is very little you can do with it, but it is also very easy to learn from and be able to use the understanding you get from using it to then help with the next language you learn.  The more languages you learn the more you can do with your programming and the more efficient and reliable programs your can make based upon your judgement of the most appropriate scripting language you choose.

I for one find the use of JScript in the scripting engine of MP!L to be quite useful (remember this is what the actual thread is about).  JScript might not be the best choice in some people's eyes, in other's it is a great choice, everyone is different and finds the difficulty to use something different along with the potential that each language holds.  Without this difference of ideals what is the point of different scipting languages?
