Thoughts on S&Box being C# rather than Lua

I freaking hate the new "cool thing" for using HTML/CSS literally everywhere. They need to include a rendering engine which usually sucks dick (because it uses so much freaking memory, see Spotify that can idle at 1.5GB of RAM after they updated to web based), and just that alone kills it for me.. Sure, it's cool to be able to make UI easily, but it's even better when the UI doesn't use 600MB of memory, while the software itself uses 300MB.

Oh, for Blizzard who suggests C# is easier to learn than Lua, what exactly have you developed in it? I can guarantee it gets more difficult when you make something more than a console application or something that downloads a file

 

I didn't develop anything in it quite yet... I am using this app on my phone to learn PHP, and they also have different coding languages on there such as C#, and it looks much easier than C++ to me... and a bit easier than lua but that's probably because I'm an impatient motherfucker xD

 

Ah.

 

As someone who worked with Java in college and had a language research project on C#, this is entirely true. If you know Java you'll know C#.

 

Of course it's much easier than C++. C++ is unmanaged. You have to allocate and free everything yourself. C# takes care of most of that, as does Lua. Just because C# is easier than C++ doesn't mean it's easier than Lua.

 

Eh, I guess. I probably have to go more in-depth to see the comparison.

 

LUA is like C and C# together

 

I'm indifferent on it, it would probably be a little difficult to learn, but I dunno.

 

It honestly looks cleaner in a way.... like I said I haven't really explored it as much as just looking over some of the code. Speaking of S&Box is there an ETA on a release date?

E: Nevermind, just saw it is still in a prototype stage.

On another note, I think I am going to fucking LOVE the hotloading !!!

 

I think that's because C# is more intuitive than Lua. C# arrays start at 0 like every other language whereas Lua starts at 1. You don't have to guess what kind of data you're working with in C#, a number is always a number unless you explicitly convert it. Yadayadayada...

 

In your opinion is C# better than lua in general? I think it looks more enjoyable.

 

Yeah I'd say it is better in this case.

 

Actually, C# is harder than lua, But if can use C#, C# is better than lua. Because C# is supporting many function and Decisively C# is Object-Oriented Programming Language. (I can develop C# Programs, So this's empirical data.)

Object-Oriented Programming is going to make easily management and can make easily extensions.
If We make correct design framework. If everything is hardcoded, that's just trash code.

 

I never said anything to indicate otherwise. That's exactly what I said in my first post in this thread. I don't really understand where you're coming from.
