None taken. (how could?).. Though personally, I'm spending more time coding
c (js-like syntax) than lingo, I still prefer lingo when it comes to
director. And that's because of the generally more compact code for command
line tests / small scripts. For bigger projects perhaps using js is better.
But, though very familiar with both director and js syntax, actually using
js with director still requires getting accustomed to... Not to mention
referencing the help files...
