I don't understand why ROBLOX doesn't use a more "professional".

I'm only a beginner programmer (I started 2 days ago) but I don't get why ROBLOX never took on Python?

LUA that i heard, is a famous code for game engine or just game instead

Almost every famous game use this type of code

(Angry Birds, World of Warcraft, etc)

@Skittleblend

This would be fun if it was a April Joke from ROBLOX in 2016 for one week.

Oh I see. LUA just seems to add limitations for the bigger game creators on ROBLOX such as Nearmiss.

What even is LOLCODE >.<

It's just as far as I've been reading Python does what LUA does and some extras?
(Apart from the inbuilt keywords/functions that ROBLOX has added to LUA)?

I've just read it's the leading language in gaming so maybe I'm just being stupid xD

Would've just thought a more mainstream language would be more suited to those working for the future xD.

Although we can agree.

If ROBLOX changed LUA to Python right now.

A big storm of people that studied LUA for years or People thad made Big games with LUA would happen and RAGE and Be out of ROBLOX and everything else.

Would it not be possible for ROBLOX to use both? Newer uses get put onto Python (but you can change to LUA in settings?)
