| Javascript is relatively useless on ROBLOX. Unless you are making an HTML Window but I think they disabled them so focus on Lua. |

| Learn Lua first, it easier then Java, though I haven't used java before, I have seen some code from it and it much harder then Lua. |

| I learned JavaScript first. It's a lot harder than Lua so later when I started to learn Lua it was really easy to ease into. But if you want to build up your knowledge, go with Lua. |

Pugzy, those games only use it for a few things, they use more advanced languages for the most part. I say JavaScript. It may take longer to learn, with more twists in the road, but FAR more rewarding! A.K.A. I agree with xLEGOx |
