[1.4] More than just lua

Are you able to add more programming languages, than only lua? Or are you able to program something like an OS that supports C++/Java?
That would be great! :)/>/>

simple answer NO
more
complex answer lua is a interpreter language it is not converted to binary code and run it it interpreted by a interpreter. now there is a lua interpreter that is made for java Dan200 uses this interperter. If Dan wanted to add another programing language then he would need to find or make a new interpreter or compiler and then a virtual machine to run it on. this is a lot of work when lua work perfectly fine.

Thanks for your fast and detailed reply! :)/>/>

Another thing, i was searching for this interpreter but couldn't find it… Do you have link for me? If it's available in the Internet? :)/>/>

http://www.lua.org/

there is a downloads page (don't ask me how to use it as I haven't figured that out)

Ok i think i have to find another tutorial about this, but thanks for your help.

What's the trouble? Don't know Lua?

You could always write an interpreter for another language in Lua (though the layering of CPU ISA / Java bytecode / Lua / other language would be getting a bit silly).

i know lua but i love java :)/>/>

You're not going to find a Java interpreter that you can just drop in - besides, Java doesn't work that way. The closest you could have is Javascript - but that isn't just a drop in replacement either.

Another language being added is not likely to happen.
