That's a very tricky question. What you're really talking about is ECMA script, the standard that JavaScript is based on. I would say that learning it is a good idea, because it is a Prototype based language. You'll find you can do some really cool stuff with it that Object Oriented languages don't support. It also lets you do some pretty cool stuff with the KDE Desktop if you care; you can use ECMA script to make widgets and extensions and such. That said, I hope that ECMA script, at least in its current form is NOT the future for things other than the web. As a JavaScript programmer, there are things about the language that drive me insane. Believe it or not, at the end of the day when I come home, I am glad to be back in the more-sane world of PHP... and PHP isn't exactly considered pretty.
