| Basically just ROBLOX adding in their own form of Java, C, C++, etc. It would let people who already know those languages not have to learn lua. And no, I'm not expecting this to come out any time soon, possibly not at all. But it would still be great. |

| That would add confusion and is unnecessary. Lua's syntax is simpler than any of those languages (it's untyped and not OOP), but for simple commands, its syntax is simpler. It shouldn't be difficult to learn coming from any of those languages. Certainly, that small gain does not justify the amount of effort that would be required to implement new languages. |

Lua is used about the same as Java (I like Java) And Lua is easy to learn.

@Everyone else Of course it's unecessary, it's just useful to some people who don't feel like learning other languages. |

@Varp Even though the gain is small, it's useful to some, and I wouldn't really care how long it would take to implement the languages. |

| Then we would literally be coding our games. That would open up some SERIOUS security issues. |

@Crazy Yes, it would open security issues if it was original Java, Java script, etc., but it would not if they narrowed down the allowed commands like they did with lua, which is what I'm suggesting |

if you want to add all these languages why not just make ROBLOX a game engine platform? as in, it can support Java, Lua, C, C+, C++, C#, msi and iso's and alot more.
that wasn't serious by the way, remember that Roblox is comprised mostly of small children and their parents, not to mention the huge amounts of effort and work that would go into incorporating those languages, security issues with them, the fact that Java and Lua have ALOT of similar commands and call functions and the main fact that noone wants to learn alot of languages for a simple game maker which already provides enough functionality to have First Person Shooters (Call of Robloxia), Racing games (chair racing, mario kart), simulators (Crazyman32's free flight, flight 2012, DRIVE robloxia) and alot more. |

ROBLOX memory data will be taken up. ROBLOX would be devestated if that happened.
The website would crash. Be thoughtful before posting. |

You do realize that they manage to devote entire servers just to certain players, the website does not have much to do with what happens in game. And Roblox would not be "Devestated" if it happened. You can download all the languages on a computer and probably not take up a terrabyte. @rp I was planning to do that, but I lost motivation when learning to script. Q_Q |
