General Programming Megathread - New OP

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

also, coffeescript seems pretty cool

There's also http://maxtaco.github.com/coffee-script/, which uses some various hacks to accomplish a synchronous-looking async syntax.

Java is not compiled directly into binary. I don't know what you are on.

we're talking about javascript, not java?

or are you on a different conversation because i'm confused

EDIT: never mind i think i see what you're replying to

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

i just think the syntax is ugly imho and moonscript seems like this
moonscript -> lua -> blah
stupid -> stupid -> blah
.-. i just dont understand moonscript
it just some how
angers me

snorted it 5 hours ago
still have the effects.

Also C++ isn't really a universal language, if anything Java is the universal language.

I suppose he got confused about the difference between bytecode and machine/native code.

It basically seems like CoffeeScript for Lua, which basically does:
less stupid -> stupid

(as in, shields the eyes against the ugly syntax )

ik
butbut
why would you ever want it to compile to lua
i mean
why not make it just compile to C++
so it goes super fast

Because, you know, sometimes you really want it to be Lua (Löwe, I suppose, or CC).

[Kingdaro]

lua wasn't meant to be compiled, it was meant to be interpreted. if you want a compiled program, use C++.

I have a really ambitious idea for a procedurally generated game. PM me if you want more info.

Comp Sci major yooooo! Right now I only have one class dealing with programming, it's pretty enjoyable. Also java is an alright language, though I hate when I forget to capitalize something and it forgets everything up

[Kingdaro]

or when you forget to import something

or when you forget a semicolon

or when you forget to put your resources with your compiled .class files

I'm taking AP programming in school, currently we're using java to make all the functions of an iPod, im bad so its actually hard
