Check "other" and ask for c++ and python support on scripts
Please, just do it

Anybody who has dev forum access, go tell Roblox to auto-delete any survey submission that mentions "C++", "Python", "JavaScript", etc in the suggestions category.

@Jarod is an angry lua obsessor
Lua sucks, javascript is online, java requires a program.
Actually, scratch python out and lua out.

I say change ROBLOX entirely to c++

Lua is elegance with the basic functionality of whatever it's implemented in, and hey, that appears to be C++ here :0

Lua is too basic.
Add c++ scripts and call them "Advanced scripts" or something.

Lua is far too simplified, the only reason to use Lua is that it's easy to integrate into C++ and other languages.

I said, just add c++ scripts and call them "Advanced scripts" or something. All the little kiddies can go on with their crappy lua games, and the professional developers will gear to the far better c++. ROBLOX is geared towards ##### ### #### don't make the good games.

You do know, that games on the front page, probably games that you couldn't begin to make, are made with lua? And I don't remember the last time a kid, like, 5-12 got a game on the front page, let alone got one that lasted more than a day.

"Lua is far too simplified"
So you want simplified C++?
It would literally be what we have right now, but with different syntax. You can't control threads. You still have restrictions on the web. You can't load libraries or DLLs. What is C++ without external references anyways? Jacksquat.

"the only reason to use Lua is that it's easy to integrate into C++ and other languages."
Wrong, it's easy to modify. It's literally intended to be modified. Nobody would ever use Lua without making modifications to it. That, and it ports to literally every OS, and it's interpreted so they don't need to compile the same code for ten different platforms and forty different architectures.
...
I may be out of the loop, are different architectures still a (mostly insignificant) obstacle when compiling?

I like how you swear on C++ being great yet you don't realise it is not a scripting language, it is compiled. I'm very curious how you're going to get the executable to each player each time before they can play a particular game.

Whatever, I'm just posting this because I'm bored. It's been clear for a while this guy is a troll. That's the indicator - they never want to listen to your point of view. Obstinate.

Anyhow, to further continue. Go use C++. Go use "Advanced Scripts" on your advanced engines like Unreal. Seriously, Roblox's optimisation is a joke, C++ is like working hard to get a Formula 1 to go up and down the street. Huge performance, but it's got bottlenecks left and right.

"@Jarod is an angry lua obsessor"
Seriously, this should be obvious.
Either this guy has argued this case before, or he's a troll. If he's a troll, he's likely one of us. He knows the triggering topics like the back of his hand.

It's obvious enough.

Look my friend, if you actually had experience enough with C++, you would understand the impracticalities of it here on Roblox, and you wouldn't be asking. If you aren't a troll, then you're just one of those guys who thinks that they can mention C++ and get instant likes because it's "advanced". gobwey ... too late
