Roblox needs to have a new form of scripting, keep lua, but also add onto additional scripting systems. For example, you could add C++ to a place, and also have Lua scripts. Post if you agree or disagree. Also try to post alot of stuff on it, so admins will see it, and possibly embrace it. Also if you see this in Roblox talk too, it's because I posted it there first, and someone recommended to post it here. |

Umm. Lua is super easy to learn....
At least the basics, you have to find the right tutorial though. Some get really technical with the terms then at the end except you to remember every little part of the tutorial, others simply explain little, are easy to follow, but then bring out a ton of stuff you haven't seen before.
You just need to know the basics, then you branch out into what you want to do. Once you do that you just take on one part at a time.
Else it's like me saying that I am going to teach you how to play the piano, then giving you Fur Elise and expecting you to look at the music and play it all right then. Most people need experience in music before they can just sit down at a piano and play Fur Elise all the way through.
No Support.

Do you even know what C++ is? There would be no point and it would leave HIGHLY risky security loopholes.
I do not support. Learn about programming and how roblox works. |

Here are the reasons why Lua was chosen and why it always will only be Lua.
#1 Lua is simple and basic to learn.
#2 Lua is open source and is editable.
#3 Other languages such as java and C++ can be used to shutdown the computer and other stuff, ROBLOX cannot block this. |

No.
C++ and VB aren't dynamically typed, so they're ruled out.
What's the point? They could use python and ruby, but to interpet two engines at the same time, would make EVERY. SINGLE. PLACE. DOUBLE. AS. LAGGY, REGARDLESS IF WHETHER OR NOT THEY USED THEM. |

Or, you could keep both Lua and C++. Most people wouldn't know C++, I know it in a term, but I'm not the best at Lua. Simplistic answer. |

C++ and Lua seem very similar. If you can learn C++ you can learn Lua. |
|
|
NO!
C++ is NOT suitable for teens to be messing with on an online game. You could do all kinds of malicious things and roblox would go out of business. |

But you also cannot make the same things with them. If you embraced C++ to ROBLOX, imagine the technology people could make. Also, I learned C++ via private lessons, and our family dosen't have the money to use that for Lua. And the Roblox system is confusing. Well for me, atleast. |

Also, with all of the money roblox makes, they could probably make SOME sort of protection system to those kind of things. If you think about it, it COULD work. |
|

@Mick
You have no idea whatsoever. Roblox could be made responsible for h4xing peoples computers and collecting millions of items of private info. You should be informed on your ideas before suggesting them. |

You cannot protect it. C++ is the core of what ROBLOX is doing, its not open source so people cannot edit it. Therefore they cannot limit what you do with it. Therefore it would collide with ROBLOX and destroy the system all together. |
|
|
C++ is PROGRAMMING, IT'S NOT LIKE LUA. IT NEEDS TO BE COMPILED.
You obviously know NOTHING about C++. |

Also, another recommendation is that roblox dosen't give a tutorial on how to script C++, I highly dabout some teen would SPENT MONEY to insert exploits into a game. |
|
|
And like combrad said, C++ 'aint an open source project. |
|
|
C++ IS NOT SCRIPTING! IT IS ADVANCED AND UN-SAFE PROGRAMMING THAT IS NOT SUITABLE TO BE USED IN ROBLOX OR ANY MMO! |
|
|
You are such a dumb kid.
TEENS wouldn't, but 40 year 0ld no lives would realise they could spread a virus with it.
If you were making a virus, and you noticed a game which you could distribute C++ to thousands of people easily, or you could manually distribute it, I think you'd choose the game.. |

They don't need to insert exploits into the game. Running it would be an exploit that ROBLOX would of added. I am not great with C++ so I will put it in Lua terms.
game.Parent:Remove() --Destroys the game.
c:\ProgramFiles\System32:Remove() --Shutdown/Oblideration. |

Who are you calling dumb? Me or the OP? |

I understand this, but if you make it for something that only elite members know, or heck, dont even inform the community, let them find out there self. And if all else fails, would Java work? Also...calm down dude, please, caps is like yelling. |

"c:\ProgramFiles\System32"
