Wouldn't know. I don't know Python, and don't plan to learn.

Coding a mod with Ruby is theoretically possible. It would be a pain and very difficult to do though. If you're looking to learn to program, I'd recommend starting with Python. If you're looking to learn to mod, then definitely Java.

If you don't want to use global variables, then minimize. I'm actually thinking of making a Ruby CC because I dislike Lua. Anyway, you could easily just make a namespace for all of the variables you use. traj.vars.x and traj.vars.y will be much harder to unintentionally overwrite than just x and...

I think you mean "I'm". ;) I'm about 80% sure that JS is also used as an embedded scripting language. One second, google... Yeah, on the goal front, JS and Lua are pretty much identical. (Source)

Aaanyhow, let's stop arguing before we start throwing things at each other.

Goals? JS's only goal is "client-side webpage scripting", or at least that's the only thing it's useful for.

They're actually somewhat similar. Dynamically typed, C-like, requires you to sacrifice a circuit board to the almighty coding gods in order to write object-oriented stuff with it, first class functions.

Knew you were going to nitpick that. :p My point stands, still. It's not meant to be an OO language.

@RavynousHunter: Lua isn't really an object-oriented language. Its object-oriented functionality is difficult, yes, but it's lightweight and pretty similar to JS. Oh, and technically it's functional (functions are just anonymous functions assigned to a variable name), so whatever reason you had...

Interesting.

@Shazam08 Strawpoll?

None of those cause taint AFAIK. The flux stuff increases casting costs, but nothing else. They don't cause taint.

The Vogons decide you're more of a pest and decide to read poetry to you. I flip on the Infinite Improbability Drive next to the chest.

The supernova begins, then then the alien in charge of the physics of our section of the universe realizes that Jupiter is far too small to create a supernova, and changes it into a pot of petunias. I throw the chest into Betelgeuse.

That would be ridiculously fast. Go for it.

I can't really complain about MFR much without getting into a subject that's a drama war waiting to happen, so how about we talk about.... uh.... modpacks?

FIRST ONE! FIRST ONE! :p

Use Gist for the log then.

FINE I'LL WORK ON IT TOMMOROW. :p
