What seems more complex? More efficient? More stable? Mostly Recommended? And Easier?

Just curious...

Get out scrub.

Anyway,

1. C++

2. C++

3. Lua

4. C++

5. Lua


In the end, C# beats all.

I don't have any experience with C#, C, or C++. Just Lua, Vbs, and Bat scripting for the most part.

To completely different languages and you're trying to compare

It's like trying to compare a apple with a car
(Cleverly implying C++ is strong like a car) :)

C++ is faster, but C# is way easier and it isn't as low-level as C++.

Did he seriously try to compare Lua and C++???

Lua is a scripting language, C++ isn't.

Obviously C++ would be better.

Lua and C++ are a good combo, but if you're only going to use 1 then I guess you should go with C++ for larger applications that need to perform very well, and Lua for smaller applications which don't.

Depends on the application.

C++ when you need a full-powered program.

Lua if you're just writing a script to do some calculation for you.

You can't eat a car, hence I don't care for it.

Takes to long to get the car that someone actually wants to buy from you, and then in the end it would've been easier to pick your own apples.

I feel like no one has mentioned the fact that Lua is a scripting language while C++ is a programming language. You can compile C++ into a program directly but you cannot do the same with Lua. C++ is low level while Lua is high level. Scripting languages "compile" during runtime and affect the program only while it's running.

They both have too much overhead.

I'd be happy to do everything in assembly if I could.

Definetely C++. Lua can't do even nearly that many things.

This is a signature. Recommended username: AvailableGskw

Lua is basically a scripting language, like python, or PowerShell. It provides powerful features, but is far removed from machine level and is interpretive. C++ can get very close to system level functions, and is used to develop graphics drivers, printer drivers, interface drivers to custom hardware etc. You have to compile the code to get an executable.

The closer you are to machine level, the harder it is.

Lots of links but following might sum it up better. Many of them call a programming language compiled vs interpretive.
