In that case, Ruby, Python and Lua wouldn't be in your B-list of 1999 either. I think it's going to take time, that's all.

- mastazi 11y agoIs Lua in your 2016 B-list? Not trying to criticise, just curious (I don't know Lua or its ecosystem well).
- meric 11y agoIn game development, I'd say it's on the A-list and you'll asked "Why did you do that?" if you chose to embed Python or Ruby into your commercial game instead of Lua, especially if your company is a large enterprisy game development house. Python & Ruby are languages widely web development, but only to the level below enterprise.
- mastazi 11y agoI see, thanks, this is interesting. I'm wondering why some languages become associated to specific fields (e.g. Python in scientific computing, PHP and Ruby in web development etc.), I suppose it is a combination of language characteristics and ecosystem.
