No mention of Lua? I guess the author hasn't tried it yet, either. (I haven't, but I was curious about his opinion on the language.)

- Tomis02 13y agoAfter years in the C++ swamp, programming Lua feels like being a world-class sprinter. Sure, there are places where it could be less verbose (the 'function' keyword, if-then-end), but overall it's liberating to have so much power with so little typing. Ok, it's a visceral (not technical) impression, but there's plenty of places to read about Lua online. I highly recommend giving it a try.
- jbeja 13y agoThe whole post i was expecting a mention of it.
- declan 13y agoAgreed. It's not as terse as something like Python, but it's pretty speedy and generally a pleasure to program in. (I'd get headaches if I had to look at Objective C blocks all day.) On the other hand, the availability of pure Lua libraries and even the official documentation aren't as complete as they could be.
