"who cares if its a bottleneck?"
i do
"what do you want us to make the next gen battlefield 1?"
no, i want to make programming simple, not necessarily easy
"no stop trying to make ROBLOX even worse and harder"
how is lua hard?
its slow and it gets ugly when you try to do anything complicated
"for people to actually make games"
lmao if you actually want to make a game why are you using lua
if you're not open to another programming language then you can't really call yourself a developer
"and it cant be "bottleneck" cause..."
of course it can
its so simple its ugly
there is no native object oriented programming and the implementation of it in lua is downright ugly
and lua is interpreted so its slow
sure, lua is c styled but the standard library has barely anything
you dont even have a increment/decrement operator or a switch statement
lua just makes me type more than c++
"forget it man I dont even know why im even typing like..."
but you do
because you're stupid and you know i'm right
"we all know this is not gonna happen"
sure it wont
but why not do it anyway?
"c++ or not both of them or not just...forget this, this is all a waste of time..."
just like typing all those extra characters in lua... oh wait thats not a waste of time for you because "c++ is hard xddddddd" |

NUU GUYS ROBLOX SHUD ALL WORK BY SAYING LEGIT ANYTHING ANT IT HAPPENS |
|
|
FOR YOU INFORMATION TO THE OP AND TO ALL OF US THICK PEOPLE INCLUDING ME:
like this is even gonna happen like ANYTHING IS EVEN GONNA HAPPEN
OP sorry for being abit vague but il change my mind i kindve agree C++ is more widely used so why not lets use both lua and c++
again
LIKE THIS IS EVEN GONNA HAPPEN NOTHING THAT WE SUGGEST NEVER HAPPEN
THIS IS JUST A FORUM WHERE PEOPLE ONLY FLAME EACHOTHERS SUGGESTIONS

What if you could use both lua as well as c++ for your scripts?
That wouldn't break the games, but would allow for better and more advanced scripts as well.
Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries! |

@OP
I like the idea of switching to C++...
But it would be great if they notified users like 2 months before they do it, so that people can try to learn C++, and prepare for the fact that LUA will be removed BEFORE their games break. |

yeah
but what if they pulled a followers update on this and announced it and did it a year later?
"What if you could use both lua as well as c++ for your scripts?

thats good enough

C# is harder but much more games use it like battlefield basicly all AAA Games, i just woke up so i cant see what im typing everything is so blurry
C# IS DEFINETLY OBVIOUSLY the hardest but its used in almosts every game engine and program
Roblox has been here for 10 years so they probaly either kept it for this reason:
.No one like you mentioned it
.It would break everygame that was made in LUA
BUT
WHEN THEY DO THIS UPDATE they should do this:
When it is released it converts All the lua scripts evermade to c++
But this could take 1-2 years or even more roblox is a smal corp in my opinion its only like 150people |

wtf i'm talking about c++
"C# IS DEFINETLY OBVIOUSLY the hardest but its used in almosts every game engine and program"
no it's not stop being dumb
"Roblox has been here for 10 years so they probaly either kept it for this reason:"
whats your point
".No one like you mentioned it"
whats your point [2]
".It would break everygame that was made in LUA"
whats your point [3]
you know what you can use to compile a lua interpreter?
g++!
"When it is released it converts All the lua scripts evermade to c++"
what
"But this could take 1-2 years or even more roblox is a smal corp in my opinion its only like 150people"
get off your lazy butt and do it yourself |

Scripting im just getting used to...
why would i want it changed :\

@op if you think your a pro at every language then go ahead m8 go make your own game or ROBLOX copy and use C++ if your calling them lazy then fine then m8
go..
go do it yourself. |

now where did i say i was a master at every programming language
i just happened to know how to use c#
and it is, in no way, harder than c++.
ROBLOX already uses C++. What's the point when they have already done what you want to do? Besides, copyright. Ever wonder why ############### got shut down? It wasn't even gonna be in 3D! You think I can get away with a sandbox where you can code and play games? ROBLOX is definitely gonna sue me if I do that. I'm not telling ROBLOX to switch their backend to c++ because it's already in c++. I'm telling them to stop making us use Lua when letting us use C++ is realistic because professional games aren't made in Lua, but rather in actual programming languages that aren't interpreted. Clearly you do not understand what i am saying, so go #### ######### I deal with enough idiots in real life. |

are you triggered?
your repeatedly hash tagging m8.
how come you know C# is easier than c++ that just means you know it, right?
so what? If you know c++ go make your own game...go ahead make the next COD. |

"are you triggered?

no, i havent used roblox in 6 months and i'm still confused over what else roblox started censoring
apparently any word over 10 characters
"how come you know C# is easier than c++ that just means you know it, right?"
what are you saying her
"so what? If you know c++ go make your own game...go ahead make the next COD."
i know c++
i didn't say i knew math
roblox physics make sense
but lua just makes it a lot of extra work |

op said "know how a _real_ programming language works"
Lua is a "real programming language". A lot of games and applications use Lua. It's not a "fake" language at all. |

"Lua is a "real programming language". A lot of games and applications use Lua. It's not a "fake" language at all."
its a scripting language
since you're that type of person that points out minor false details that dont even matter at the end of the day, use a compiled language.
there, you happy now?
"but c++ is interpreted"
it usually is compiled and theres no point in interpreting c++ because it just slows it down
interpreted languages take more system resources anyway

if the whole platform is built on c++, that means if they switch to c++ people will be able to tamper with the platform from inside their game, since they're running code of the same language inside a platform made of that language
|

I just got a t*s*c*lar terosion
:(
And I manually detorsed it....
Man the pain.... |

"if the whole platform is built on c++, that means if they switch to c++ people will be able to tamper with the platform from inside their game, since they're running code of the same language inside a platform made of that language"
you could do that with any other language
obviously you would need to sandbox it
you could make roblox use c# and you could still "tamper" with the platform.
cryengine and unreal are written in c++ and they both use c++. there is no problem with them.

I agree switch to C++ with exception of use of lua, it'd be good for people to learn. |
|
|
I like how the anger rises the longer the thread goes on... Anyway, we should keep lua. Lua is beautifully easy to learn, and gets you ready for harder languages. (*cough cough* c++)
The good days were when Cart Ride into (Insert random thing here) games were on the front page. |

I find it funny In the Job requirements for Game play engineer (Or something like that) in roblox requires Knowledge of C++ maybe if they switched they would make better updates? |
