Modern scripting features?

Hey all,

It's been a few years since I've written any AFX scripts (2006 - 2009 was when I was last on this forum!) but an upcoming job requires that I might need to.

I wanted to check if Adobe have introduced any new features since then. A little bit of searching revealed:

- RequireJS() functionality
- Node JS compatibility
- binary jsx scripts

I saw a a recent post which discussed graphics.draw, I have yet to delve into that.

What else is new? Would anyone care to list the best new features? Adobe used to have a knack of leaving out some frustratingly obvious functionality!

EDIT: I've since found the scripting guides which are useful, but it would be great to hear some anecdotal evidence from some of you devs on here.

Cheers,
Dave
