Yeah. I think if I were to pick one reason, it would be Lua is "minimalist". But, like I wrote, maybe, it too, would have just had lots of stuff added onto it if it had been in the browser. Hard to say.
I love ++, but you know what? I was shocked when a co-worker pointed out that it is frowned upon to use ++ in javascript. It some big companies, their linter settings mark ++ as something that should be changed.

- bawolff 1y agoLol, i suppose there is no accounting for taste, but the justification for that rule is really something. Appearently its really confusing if you put a bunch of newlines between the ++ operator and its ophand. No kidding.
- Stratoscope 1y agoThe origin of this rule was that Douglas Crockford doesn't like ++. From JavaScript: The Good Parts (May 2008): > The ++ (increment) and -- (decrement) operators have been known to contribute to bad code by encouraging excessive trickiness. They are second only to faulty architecture in enabling viruses and other security menaces. The JSLint option plusplus allows the use of these operators. Needless to say, I'm with you and hackthemack on this.
