Regarding Adobe, that's actually a great example of where JScript is
rather limited due to it's secure web origins. Coding for AfterEffects,
it's enormously difficult, in my experience to interface with, say a
database, or the operating system in any reasonable way. Like, you can
do a few things that Adobe has specially customized into their
implementation. Like all their GUI stuff, for example. In this case, I
think it's actually Javascript they're working with. So far, the only
possible way I've seen to do database queries out of AE would be to
create and run separate executable scripts on the fly. In XSI, you can
do this because of JScript's ActiveX. But in my opinion, ActiveX is
still super clunky compared to Python, where interfaces to, say, mysql,
can be written directly in C with no intermediate layers. Preferences
on syntax are just way less important than this sort of functionality
difference.
