[04:20:29] kot Kumool an alternative to lua as a scripting lang? pythons plenty fast if you need something more complex than bash

[04:21:08] kot lua only seems useful for a lightweight scripting lang with C interop

[04:29:37] kot Kumool classes aren't really a necessity in python, it aint java. just useful if you need it

[04:29:50] kot just like how python also has type hinting as an optional tool

[04:32:56] kot Kumool well yeah obviously you shouldn't make games in python

[04:33:04] kot no ones making games in raw lua either

[04:33:14] kot LOVE is probably making strong use of C interop

[04:33:51] kot are those being made in pure lua or are they using C interop for any graphics processing

[04:34:19] kot sdl is doing the graphics processing

[04:35:52] kot nor lua tbh, its just novelty for people who love those languages

[04:36:13] kot a 'real' dev would just use an actual game engine or purely C/C++ + sdl

[05:47:25] kot Kumool yeah figured, but you are also right about how pygame should be faster since python has C interop

[05:48:52] kot there's probably some python sdl wrapper if you really need high performance but at that point just use an actual game engine or godot if you insist on FOSS

[08:17:17] kot Kumool its less anti-lua and more recognizing lua as only being useful for scripting in C software, whereas python has more of a life outside of being a script lang designed to complement C software

[08:17:32] kot lua definitely has its niche but its niche is more limited than python

[13:21:42] kot irc won't?

[13:23:16] kot i doubt most people on rizon were ever highly intellectual
