Supporting JavaScript is an interesting idea. I probably wouldn't used it, but I wonder if it would bring others to Revolution.And the new Director supports JavaScript alongside Lingo syntax. My bet: it'll just confuse everyone. (And I love Lingo, BTW)
Authorware 7 added support for writing scripts in JavaScript instead of the Authorware scripting language. Not sure why they decided to do that, unless they thought it might entice programmers to the Authorware camp... Of course they had to add some Authorware specific objects so you could access everything in JS.
If RunRev decides to add JavaScript just to be in par with those other environments and atract more users, so let be it. I can trust that they implement it reasonaly. After all, this can be done (as someone suggested) in an OSA-like approach, eliminating any potential confusion and keeping Transcript as we know it. However, I really, really hope that RunRev first finishes all the things they've already started (ie recent pr's), puts a true and serious effort into bug hunting (it seem they are getting serious about this), and implements the enhancements requested by the current user base. I think that one of the selling points of MetaCard was its reputation of being rock-solid. Rev should strive for the same.
