Other folks complain about the lack of libraries. Personally, the two things which turn me off on Lua (luajit) are 1-based arrays and the conflation of hash-tables and array-lists into a single thing.
- enriquto 8y ago> the conflation of hash-tables and array-lists into a single thing. Precisely, one of the things that turns me off on Python (coming from Lua), is the unnatural proliferation of different container types.
- civility 8y agoTo each their own :-) You might like Tcl - associative arrays (hash tables), arrays (lists), strings, numbers, and code are all the one type (at least conceptually).
- rrcaptain 8y agoOddly that's one of the things I like most about python. The containers module has so many very useful things. Plus hash-tables and array-lists shouldn't ever really be the same thing.
- hiccuphippo 8y agoI don't like how everybody invents their own class system.
