IMO, JavaScript is the easiest script language and the best looking. ( For 2-D stuff. )
It's an awkward juxtaposition really, you make a platform easy to pick up and accessible it's great as an entry point for people looking to get involved in development and helps to popularise the language, but for the same reason it facilitates sloppy coding. Early Flash/AS1 suffered in exactly the same way.

Javascript is a hateful master for anything large scale.
