Can you use the Java programming language on ROBLOX or is ROBLOX only Lua compatable?

ROBLOX is Lua compatible, that's all.

Only LUA can be used, unless you feel like rewriting the entire package for java, in lua. At that point, just make "RobloxOS"

If you want java soo bad, good luck using the only service that would let you talk with java. HttpService, PHP script?

Well, Java is one of the hardest programming languages, and Roblox is only kid's game, it was made to teach them how to build, script, model, advertise, and other stuff. So if I'm right, there's no way to use it.

No, but honestly they are very similar languages. -|| Don't walk the path someone else made, build your own. ||-

@nick how would one do that. @other Thanks for the replies, I already know Java and its hard for me to code in Lua not Java because Lua isn't as specific and all the }'s and ;'s aren't necessary. If anyone has a compiler for Java > Lua please let me know
