I much prefer JavaScript. I never liked Lingo syntax, probably because the 
first scripting I ever learned was JavaScript. JS is the reason I upgraded to 
MX 2004. Having mostly used C++, C#, Java, JavaScript and ActionScript 2.0 I'm 
simply more used to their syntax. Sure, some things require just a little more 
to do in JS vice Lingo... like symbol("someSymbol") instead of #someSymbol, but 
for me personally it's more than worth it. And I gotta tell ya, try/catch is 
great! The error info thrown isn't always especially useful, heck it's usually 
not useful at all for that matter, but you generally know what might go wrong 
in your code at those points anyway.

 No offense meant to the fans of Lingo. I don't think it's crappy or anything; 
I just prefer JS.
