Why would ROBLOX add Java support after all these years?

it seems you need to work more on java, go read a beginner tutorial.

Then use a framework other than Roblox to make games.

Also, your OP is pretty lame. Do you even know what JavaScript is?

That's not JavaScript, that's Java.

No, ROBLOX is good for young people who want to get into scripting/developing and are not able to understand other languages at their age.

My problem is that sometimes, I start getting syntax'd just by making a too complicated code. I have to dumb it down, but its never as good as how it would have been. Besides, some codes have a higher level of complexity, and work better in certain situations. Heck, i'd love to make a sequence on roblox using both Lua and Java. Thing is, we'll need to let in other languages. Then you'll see games unimaginable with just simply Lua.

firstly, i know some javascript and im pretty sure that isnt javascript
secondly, it's lua not LUA, so you apparently dont even know what roblox uses anyway.

I dont think a kid will have any clue how the programming would work, but we have plenty of people who understand other languages, so adding more languages other than LUA would make roblox more than simply a "game platform".
It dosent matter, lua, LUA, who cares, it dosent matter what I call it its still the same.

"I dont think a kid will have any clue how the programming would work"

That's why wiki.roblox.com has tutorials to help them all the way.

"lua, LUA, who cares, it dosent matter what I call it its still the same."

lua is acceptable but LUA makes it an acronym. Licking Under Armpits?

" Please do not write it as "LUA", which is both ugly and confusing, because then it becomes an acronym with different meanings for different people. So, please, write "Lua" right!"

actual lua website.

and people might still consider me a kid, yet i can script basic stuff.

Java get's compiled before runtime, that's why scripting languages are better for Roblox. And that's one reason they chose Lua. They would have to write a butt load to make Java into a scripting language.

Because you think Lua is very easy when there's a lot of people like you who can barely grasp the basics of Lua.
Adding a whole new coding language won't solve anything, it'll confuse people more.

Here's my siggy... Done.

Well I'll start, Lua is meant to be easy and simple. And it is extremely easy to implement. Java, however, is a whole programming language. If you just wanted java-like syntax then just make your own parser. And I learned many languages at 8 years old so age is not an issue. And adding more languages is dumb and inefficient

"And adding more languages is dumb and inefficient"

It's not dumb and it's only inefficient if you add more than one scripting language in your place/game. Look at Unity for example.
