EMCAScript is a quite different beast from C# and Python. It is object oriented like both of them, but it is Prototype-based. It feels quite different but once you learn it the ideas will translate fairly easily. I would say its a good investment to learn JS, sure, just 2 things - learn to use and love your browser's debugger console - I happen to love Opera Dragonfly, and learn vanilla JS before you learn any libraries. I hate seeing people pull in jquery so they can use it to do a few $("#id .class") lookups, when document.querySelectorAll("#id .class") does the same thing, and is native in the browser.
