Going to start learning one or the other. Since you guys drove my Lua experience, you get to choose which! :D

Actually, I don't really care if you choose or not. It's just been a while since I've forumed here and I wanted to say hi again. :D

Python (because it's a Lua rip-off)

VBS would not be very useful to learn. The only thing it is used for is Windows system administration (Well, is actually is quite useful for that, so if you do want to do windows system administration, then go ahead and learn it =P), so there's no much in the way of interesting hobby projects you can do with it.

You should choose Python. It is a really nice language, unlike VBS.

@Stravant

Yeah that reminds me

Somewhere on our school directory there's a folder full of VBS scripts which all contain a copyright header because the system technician is realy stupid, so he obviously just took them off the internet.


The funny part is they all do stuff like disconnect people off the network and open the pupil manager and such, and they're all in an accessible-by-anyone directory.

Aswell as that, when I had a "command prompt file" (His name for a batch file) which made my year 7->Geography year 7->History etc folders for me, he thought it was maliciuos

His course of action?

Run it on an ADMIN account.. THEN delete it

And then he told me off because it made folders in his user area

In my school, there's lots of PC which will log on the other PC (Idkwhat)
They're all Windows XP, without any protection..
And you can mess around with command prompt to effect the other users :P

" Python is similiar to lua"

no

"its actually kind of useful"

eh, a little bit. rarely. maybe if you're doing something like proper search-engine functionality, I recall somehwere that python has a string similarity function so that'd be usefull. it sucks for stuff like game development

well ironpython and jpython would be alright for game development but only if you're not handing them control of the entire thing, like if you did rendering through java or .NET you might be alright

pygame is fairly good for gaming
py(game)thon
