Use Lua. It&#39;s easy to learn, it&#39;s lightweight, and it scales WAY WAY better than JavaScript/Spidermonkey. In the amount of time it will take you to debug an esoteric js error you can learn Lua. In fact, chapter 7 of the FS book has a nice, gentle intro to Lua. (Full disclosure: I authored chapter 7 of the FreeSWITCH book. I am unabashedly biased in favor of Lua.)<br>

<br>
Just begun to play with FreeSWITCH and was wondering what scripting<br>
language to use to extend its functionality, by reading the wiki I<br>
understand that the recommended one is Lua but I don&#39;t know the<br>
language yet, I do know Javascript, so my question is, will FreeSWTCH<br>
support Javascript as a first class citizen in the future (by looking<br>
at the source the spidermonkey lib hasn&#39;t been update in years) or<br>
should I just get started in learning Lua for future<br>
support/conformance sake?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
