More Programming Languages?

I just wanted to request or give an suggestion to whoever is the owner of the mod here (his name) to allow multiple coding languages in the mod. Such as: Java, C#, VB, .NET and else. Then, you'd have different computers for different languages, like: I want to code in Java, so my PC is working with Java, not LUA.

Um… no.
The amount of work that would take, for little benefit (Lua is very easy to learn) makes it counter-productive, and it splits development into many more sections, which will increase the delays.

Just… no.

Well, I was thinking about Java. It's easy. But you can choose wether to code in Java or Lua.

For dan to implement another language it would basically be a whole other mod. I'm 99.9% sure this will never happen. HOWEVER using the 1.3 API you could prolly make something resembling "programming" in another language.

I had an extremely hard-to-code idea: code Java into Lua.

When 1.3 is coming out?

Mon-Thur most likely.

Pascal would be cool language to include.

why?

its easy, similar syntax and of course, nostalgic purposes ;)/>/>

I understand that other languages probably will never be integrated with CC due to the amount of work, but just throwing it out there ;)/>/>

Seriously, I'm having enough trouble with getting lua to work, I dont need to learn other coding languages too just so I can modify one program or another o.o;

Well you wouldnt have to. Use one or the other ;)/>/>

And like i said, it probably would never get implemented as LUA is perfect for what its meant to do in minecraft. just thought it would be cool ;)/>/>
