Yeah, except there are too many words. I like symbol based more than word based, and things like if then(x and y) versus if(x && y) is annoying.
IIRC, Lua uses keywords for readability, and it makes up for its keyword use in its general lack of syntax constructs, meaning there isn't much to learn about Lua in general compared to other languages, and you can solve pretty much any problem with what Lua gives you.
i think we can agree python is significantly better than torquescript (which isn't what you were saying but I was drawing a hyperbole and stuff)
i don't understand how anyone can have trouble with python, i think it's one of the easiest languages out there...
The main reason I first had trouble learning python was because of the massive standard lib. The language itself is fine for the most part, but it took me a while to find that the function I needed to list a directory was called "os.walk".
I do commend on Python's productivity potential though.
And yeah, most of us here can probably agree that TorqueScript is pretty stuffty.
