No, if you used ruby, javascript will came easy for you then most people.
Most of the machine languages are derived from others.

Thank you i thought it would be a headache learning another language

if you change from ruby to javascript you might only need to learn the syntax.
and mostly above poster image is correct...

BUT there's special case with loading image... since back in Ace we can load image synchronously while in MV the image mostly load Asynchronously... so when we load bitmap for example... we cannot immediately grab the image.width or image.height directly in the next line (example case when we have another image that placed directly below the previous image but since the first image is still not finished loading... we the width and height is still null)... we must add some onload listener to do that...

hope this help.

That is a very important distinction that a lot of non-programmer don't understand - and that includes so-called "cargo cult programmers".

If you really learned how to program, then you can program in every programming language that exists. Just take a syntax reference to check the exact wording and go on.

If you only learned the ruby language without understanding what programming really is, then switching to a different programming language is much more problematic, and in that case you might be better off staying on Ace.

Here is an interesting topic where you might want to read to understand the difference I'm talking about:

A Good Article For You Budding Scripters

Here is a great article for novice programmers to read. It talks about "cargo-cult programmers", a term that has been around for some time, but usually the people who need to understand it the most do not. There are more than a few beginners around here who this applies to, and that's ok; you're...
