FIOC vs MOON

How does PYTHON compare to, say, LUA? I see that Lua has been successfully used in many projects. It seems it has less faggotry than PYTHON, and I'm not talking about the FIOC either. It's smaller and doesn't need forks like stackless to avoid sucking. OTOH you don't hear Lua mentioned often, and I don't know it its domain of application may be more limited.

I tried to read your post but it was all redacted

2/10

Using a less-known language for comparison shows potential, but your troll falls short by first going into detail and then pretending total ignorance.

I jizzed all over the keyboard, but that's probably because of the Maria Ozawa rape video playing in the background rather than from your post.

Link to the said video.

I also jizzed, and I do not believe this to be a coincidence.

No OOP, everything is stored in 'tables' which is kind of annoying
end statements suck, least in python you don't deal with that shit
Useless syntax like then that you'll always forget to add because you're used to real programming(VB is not real programming)

The only advantage it has over other scripting languages is that it's easy to implement and is speedy unlike _FOIC.  It's basically just programming for non programmers and game devs.  But then again grease monkey does the same thing with {} syntax.

This. OOP is the cutting edge of programming. Languages with no OOP or shitty OOP are just toys and the people who use them can go breathe diahrea.

And yet C is 2nd on the TIOBE index^[1].

Fixed.

lua compiles to native, how unlike interpreted python and its guido crowd suckiness.

You can most certainly do OO in Lua - it's a lot like Javascript's OO style, in fact. If you're used to other languages' syntax, it is a bit awkward to get used to, but once you get the pattern figured out, it works well.

IMO the tables are neat as well, except for where the most useful thing you can get out of checking something's type is usually "table". It would be much less dumb if there was a way to redefine what something "is", such as with Python's repr().

Try approaching Lua's use of tables for everything in the same way as Lisp's use of linked lists. Yeah, it's basically the *only* data structure in the language, but it is tremendously flexible and malleable.

I'd actually really like Lua if not for that one-based nonsense and the fact that it practically requires C extensions in order to do anything useful. If I wanted to write C, I'd be doing that.
