Use Lua. It's easy to learn, it'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.) -MC Amazon link: http://amzn.to/cNym68 On Fri, Jan 6, 2012 at 2:45 PM, Der Engel <engelster@gmail.com> wrote:

Hello,

Just begun to play with FreeSWITCH and was wondering what scripting language to use to extend its functionality, by reading the wiki I understand that the recommended one is Lua but I don't know the language yet, I do know Javascript, so my question is, will FreeSWTCH support Javascript as a first class citizen in the future (by looking at the source the spidermonkey lib hasn't been update in years) or should I just get started in learning Lua for future support/conformance sake?

Thanks, Der
