I think if you already know one (or more) programming language, it's not all
that hard to learn another. The concepts are mostly the same between
languages; it's just the syntax and available keywords & objects that tend to
be different.
Fi> JS, and I haven't found a good guide to command line JS operation either.
JS typically isn't used on the command-line, although for Synchronet, there is
the jsexec program, which allows you to write JS scripts for Synchronet that
you can run on the command line.
While writing JS scripts for Synchronet, I've often done string manipulation
and have found the documentation on the JS string object at w3schools.com
useful:
http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_obj_string.asp
They have a page for JS examples as well:
http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_examples.asp

I've actually thought that being able to write Python scripts for Synchronet
would be nice.
