The kicker is that the language is extremely> useful in building web pages, and any kid who is learning programming will eventually want to learn to make web pages. To use jscript as a straight programming language the kid will need to learn to use a text editor like Notepad and the scripting runtime called Windows Scripting Host.

On the other hand, jscript is more complex than Lego and does have a few gotchas in the language. Booleans, if I remember correctly, have three possible values.
