Title: Squirrel vs Lua
Post by: KAKAN on Sep 25, 2015, 04:58 PM
Previous topic was about: VCMP vs SAMP
This topic is about: Lua vs Squirrel
So, what do you guys think?
Why Lua was not preferred and Squirrel was preferred, although many apps are made up of Lua, and its better than Pawno(atleast)
Post your reasons, but remember DON'T SPAM THE TOPIC
Devs, post your reasons too, I wanna know why Lua was not preferred instead of Squirrel.
Squirrel used for: Mostly Multi-players game
Lua used for: Apps and Games, both!

Why Squirrel and not AngelScript?
Why Lua and not Python?
Why Squirrel and not JavaScript?
Why Lua and not Java?
Why Java and not C++?
Why C++ and not C?
Why Squirrel and not ChaiScript?
Why Lua and not LuaJit?

You people have issues learning one of the easiest programming language in existence. You have absolutely no idea about the inner workings of the smallest concepts in programming. You have absolutely no regard for learning those concepts before jumping into programming. So why? Why DAFUQ would someone waste his time to create it? Do you think copying and pasting Lua code feels any different than Squirrel code?

I used to be like that. But now my eyes are open :D

I prefer Squirrel and Javascript, because they are similiar to C++, but lua not.

Lol wat, ahem, if you read the squirrel documentary it says that squirrel is very similar to lua, c++ etc.

Back to the point, lua is an amazing lanuage and after working with it from a few days ( in mta ) I find it more interesting than squirrel.

Any language is easy if and only if you really want to learn it. Without proper interest to actually learn a language for example most here just know to code for vcmp, they can't code anything in squirrel if it comes out of VCMP.

Yea, true because VCMP gives many functions in its plugins, which other servers doesn't.

Squirrel uses a pretty close syntax to C and I like that syntax. SQUIRREL YO YO!!!

Lets build logic here, Lua can live without Earth and it is living without Earth because its not on Earth. Squirrel on the other hand thrown into outer space or even at Lua itself will die due to some factors which you know yourself { If you don't, shoot your self into space without any equipment }

So Lua wins.

*this is not a bump its only 26 days old*
Actually I know how it is different from it.
I know how it is similar to it too.
