It's simple, and easy to use. Plus, almost everyone on ROBLOX knows how to use it. The creativity of ROBLOX will boost!

It's not horrible, man, and it's not a troll either. I'm being serious. Content creators in Minecraft have already done this with a server plugin called "Skript."

It's not boring. YOU ARE USING IT RIGHT NOW. So am I. Lua is just too complex. Who wants to learn a new language so they can create a game which will die down in like, 1 year? Like, seriously.

Since this idea is so great, why don't you get started on making it a reality? Seriously, no troll, go do it. Right now.

You know, the problem with this is that 90% of roblox players can't even use american english effectively :/

I can't, I am not that adept at ROBLOX scripting to do so. That's why I'm making it a petition, see?

@Skellobit

Yeah maybe those games but the creator of those games sold their soouls to the devil!

I'm gonna make a petition for everything on this website to be changed to pig latin speak, just because I don't want to learn HTML/CSS/Whatever it's coded in.

skript is still using a syntax its just more hidden

on leftclick with a golden axe:
# a condition:
player has the permission "thor"
# and some effects:
strike lightning at the targeted block
broadcast "Fear the mighty Thor!"

if anything I would say its harder since theres much more you need to remember

You know, the REAL problem with this is that English is not a programming language. Spoken languages are different because people have common sense and the ability to infer. Computers can't do that. You need to be really specific as to what you want the computer to do. True English will never be a true programming language.

You could make a language similar to English, but it will still require following more rules (And more strict) than Trump would be able to make in 8 years.

@ExtremeBuilder15

Good man!


@LegendaryAccount

No, it's not. If you look at it, it's a language.


@0Dan

Probably something really nasty. :)


@JarodOfOrbiter

See SCP-079. talking computers, do exist.


@DarthStrantax

Maybe it's because you don't know English.

That's something that isn't going to work right it'll be so limited because it'll be super time consuming so it'll be useless and on top of that scripts will be at lest twice as long and that just make a big problem for the people converting it to do that but its very do able.

You could even do it yourself if you had the knowledge, all you need is string manipulation and functions for each word or phrase, that pretty much how we type with binary.

Once that is done you can use a module to script with strings making your own language on top of lua.

You would also need to turn on loadstring because this is so inefficient it's just not even smart to do, it's so limited.
