Lua programming

- Lightweight, easy as piss to embed
- Do your native engine stuff in C and wield it like a god in Lua
- Perfect for live coding
- Do whatever the fuck you want whenever you want
- Kikes can't stop you

Why are non-programmers relevant if the discussion is about the merits of programming languages? Non-programmers can't read a certain programming language, yeah. They don't have to, because they aren't programmers. Why do they matter?

I agree with >>27-sama, programming languages are for programmers, even if they have easy syntax the user will not be able to do shit because xhe does not know programming

>>26
python and javashit are easier than lua

>>28
Will you stop with your fucking xhe/ey faggotry? Either use they/them or rewrite your sentences with proper fucking English.

Example:

I agree with >>27-sama, programming languages are for programmers. Even if they have easy syntax one will not be able to do shit if one does not know programming.

I fucking hate this bullshit so much.

This is a QUALITY COMPUTING internet community. We do LISP (SCHEME and COMMON LISP) and HARDCORE QUALITY UNIX (HARDCORE QUALITY UNIX NOT JUST ``unix''). lua is not QUALITY. It takes no INTELLIGENCE to use and understand. We do not use winblows, muc, or loonix. We PROGRAM not ``code'', we are PROGRAMMERS not ``coders'', we make PROGRAMS not ``apps''. Our PROGRAMMING is a SKILL, ART, and SCIENCE. We are superior to corporations and their code monkeys

>>26
I'm pretty sure ``simple'' here means linguistically simple. You only need a very small set of special forms, function application for non-special form, some way(s) to extend the set of special forms and you've got yourself a Scheme!

Lua/javashit/rubyonfail/FIOC are not simpler than Scheme. What people mean by them being simple is simply that they happen fit the common goy's inflexible and closed mind better.

>>26
THE SIMPLEST:

f 0 = 1
f x
| x>0 = 0
| otherwise = 2


I'm sure that >>29-sama is angry with me, xhe is very angry with me ;_;

>>28
And mathematics are for mathematicians?

>>31
basically yes, goy's who for example code NPC's

By the way, you don't program in LISP: you structure data in LISP. Real programmers program programs in, for example, Agda.

I started off by embedding Lisp using ECL. I then embedded scheme using s7 scheme. When I got tired of masturbating, I embedded Lua and never bothered with the Lisp-faggotry ever again.

Lua is a multi-paradigm, get shit done language. Lisp is a "oh look at me and my Lisp waifu" language for wanking yourself.

You're just too fucking stupid. That's all.

I am not a ``coder'', I organize s-expressions 8==D~ ~~

I put in a javascript engine because I got told to do so at work. Because I have a job.

Has Lua or Scheme ever gotten you a job?

Lisp isn't bad. I've embedded and used it before:

I just moved away from it. Lua was easier to embed and has all the language features I need.

back to le /g/ normalfag

I may be many things, but I am definitely not a normalfag.
Also, not that any of this shit matters, but:
- those screenshots are from 2009, but even if someone is still using XP, who the fuck cares?
- you should be more concerned with the programs you are writing that what OS you are running

>>41
Just wondering, what OS are you using now?

>>42
My dev machines run Winblows 7 and 8. I really don't think this question is relevant though. I definitely don't think they are better or worse than anything else, I just want the OS to work and get out of my way. I wasted months years ago playing around with Linux, but I realized I wasn't interested enough in exactly what kernel my hardware was running. I just wanted to write programs, I wanted my hardware to work, and I wanted a stable API to talk to my hardware. Linux could never quite get those 2 last things right.
My programming computers never go online.
I use Qt Creator as an IDE (it invokes the VS Express compiler), although my recent stuff doesn't use the Qt library.
I really like the live coding environments that Emacs and Squeak Smalltalk provide, so I built a live coding environment of my own based on Lua, and I spend a lot of time in that. Lua has excellent introspection facilities which I use to bring up function definitions and modify them live.

neat!

back to /g/, faggot

>>46
no u, meanie Fuck off kike, you can't stop me

>>46
Fuck off back to hacker jews, schlomo

>>47,48
Yeah, back to /g/ you fucking ``coder''. Winblows, lua, LOONIX!. You cant get anything fucking right.

>>49
This is not a sekret club. If ey can do neato things using lua, winblos, and loonix, then I enjoy hearing about it. Computers and software are but a medium for crafting art. The material is not important. It's what you do with it.

>>49
What did you get right, kike? Is your greatest accomplishment in life that you made the right choice of OS and programming language? What the fuck are you even doing on a board about programming, if that is all you are ever going to talk about?

>>50,51
Newfags detected. Not even using sage. Clearly haven't even read SICP.

They also use references and memes from the imageboards.

LET THIS THREAD BURN TO THE GROUND

>>53
:DDDDDDDDD

>>50,51
Programming sure does have some certain sense of aesthetics, but so does math, or physics, or pretty much every fucking thing else. They are just similar to ``crafting art'' in only some surficial aspects. It is not ``crafting art''. Programming in its most fundamental sense is just only about CONJURING computations/formal languages using formal languages.

tl;dr please back to your >>>/g/^{``daily _hebrew thread''}. Leave us /prague/riders masturbating in peace.

>>56
No. I like it here. You're a bit fun.

Do your native engine stuff in C

No, thanks. Every day I'm Haskelling.

>>58
enjoy your coprotelephagolytic paratropoholotarskimorphisms

>>22
At least Lua can read from stdin without needing 5 lines of code and a third party library.

>>27
By programmers they basically mean people who program as an occupation or at least a major hobby. Languages like Lua allow people with little programming background to do scripting.

muh "reel EUNUCHS" (which coincidentally has no drivers)

Whom are you quoting?
