[04:20:29] kot/rizon Kumool an alternative to lua as a scripting lang? pythons plenty fast if you need something more complex than bash
[04:21:09] kot/rizon lua only seems useful for a lightweight scripting lang with C interop
[04:29:37] kot/rizon Kumool classes aren't really a necessity in python, it aint java. just useful if you need it
[04:29:51] kot/rizon just like how python also has type hinting as an optional tool
[04:32:56] kot/rizon Kumool well yeah obviously you shouldn't make games in python
[04:33:04] kot/rizon no ones making games in raw lua either
[04:33:14] kot/rizon LOVE is probably making strong use of C interop
[04:33:52] kot/rizon are those being made in pure lua or are they using C interop for any graphics processing
[04:34:19] kot/rizon sdl is doing the graphics processing
[04:35:52] kot/rizon nor lua tbh, its just novelty for people who love those languages
[04:36:14] kot/rizon a 'real' dev would just use an actual game engine or purely C/C++ + sdl
[05:47:25] kot/rizon Kumool yeah figured, but you are also right about how pygame should be faster since python has C interop
[05:48:52] kot/rizon 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/rizon 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/rizon lua definitely has its niche but its niche is more limited than python
[13:21:42] kot/rizon irc won't?
[13:23:16] kot/rizon i doubt most people on rizon were ever highly intellectual
