thats an understatement bump
:( how'd it get to page 5 so fast

[Kingdaro]

there isn't really much to talk about when it comes to just one language, lol

It was a monty python joke.

BitTorrent isn't based on Python any more, only up to 5.x. Nowadays it's just a rebrand of µTorrent.

Somewhat important libraries you forgot:
https://www.djangoproject.com/
http://flask.pocoo.org/
http://packages.python.org/distribute/
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/


Stuff I've made at various times:
https://github.com/dontcare4free/rotx.py - caesar ciphers, because I was bored
https://github.com/dontcare4free/Flask-Pushrod
https://bitbucket.org/Vokor/vokorbb
https://github.com/BlocklandGlass/Glass-PyServer - Never got anywhere with the wrapper, and because of the gaping hole of needing to trust the BLG master server (although you could just run your own instead...)

Stuff I've made in non-Python which somewhat kinda work-ish:

top 5 language list

1. Lua
2. Ruby
3. JavaScript
4. Python
5. moonscript

[Brian Smithers]

5. moonscript

you should feel bad about even considering this bullstuff a language.

[Kingdaro]

i like it because it's neat and fun to play aro-wait what the hell

it probably has more similarity to Python than anything, why do you hate it so much?

[DontCare4Free]

1. Lua

Too verbose syntax IMO, but this is pretty much just a matter of taste.

2. Ruby

Strings are mutable by default.
"return :hi" in a block actually terminates the function you gave the block to, not just the block itself.
my_meth[:hi] != my_meth [:hi]

3. JavaScript

Seems like it might make using ComputerCraft bearable, although that's pretty much the only place where I use Lua.

i made a couple of CC scripts with it, yeah.

also, coffeescript seems pretty cool

EDIT: looking through coffeescript, it looks way too similar to moonscript, in both syntax and purpose. holy stuff.

did one person make both of them? haha
