I didn't learn C# to make Javascript easier - I switched to C# due to the majority of work in my specialty requiring it more and the fact it paid a lot more.

The side effect.... I always found that programming VB was easy but switching to Javascript AND other languages took a few minutes to get my head around (or I would mix some syntax up)...

Now I find that I can flawlessly switch between Javascript, C# and a few other languages without losing speed at all, and generally, I find that I am a much better programmer for switching.
