I'm coming from a decade plus of strictly programming in Matlab. I spent a bit of time looking for a 'real', less expensive programming language. Javascript isn't perfect but it is fast, readable, and gives you access to the modern world of programming (client-sever vice standalone machine, browsers vice specialised gui's, emphasis on working with text-based data vice pure number crunching). So I've gone with javascript/nodejs/couchdb(via cradle). It isn't hard, there will be a lot of slap-the-forehead (see a recent post of mine), but there is such a wealth of possibilities all wrapped up in a single language that it's hard to see why you wouldn't go with javascript/nodejs.
