you can use Javascript with Max. It's a bit unwielding in its handling of multi-JS-file projects, but it can be done.
Not everything in Max is exposed to your code, but you really can do a lot from the JS side of things.
I had no idea! And I'm learning Javascript, so that's a nice coincidence.
I was deep into Max/MSP around 2010 and made a personal vow to leave it alone. The potential to reinvent the wheel and build tools instead of completing records was too much.
Now I'm in a more mature place, so I could see myself diving back into it eventually.
