02:55 Blockhead256[m] Lua and Python are both dynamically, weakly-typed scripting languages with mostly natural language keywords. That's about where the similarity ends.
02:55 Blockhead256[m] Every time I see someone write LUA or JAVA or something I pronounce it in a soft yell voice :)
03:38 muurkha         they probably think it's an acronym
03:40 muurkha         Lua and Python also have string immutability, associative arrays, dynamically dispatched method calls, operator overloading, a coroutine facility, and closures which are not the same as the method dispatch
03:42 muurkha         so I think they have quite a bit of similarity
03:45 muurkha         contrast JS (no overloading, no coroutines), Perl (mutable strings, no coroutines), awk (no closures, no dynamic dispatch, no overloading), etc.
03:48 muurkha         also in both of them the normal type of object for user-defined data types is an associative array
03:49 muurkha         which sounds totally normal now I guess because that's how Perl, JS, Lua, and Python do things
03:49 Blockhead256[m] it's all associative arrays all the time baby
03:49 muurkha         but it was weird as hell when Lua and Python started doing it, and it's still far from universal
03:51 muurkha         languages that take a totally different approach to that include Smalltalk, Ruby, Java, Scheme, C++, Golang, Rust,...
03:53 muurkha         also incidentally when Python and Lua came out Perl was a lot more different
03:54 muurkha         it wasn't until Perl5 that it adopted dynamically dispatched method calls, operator overloading, and closures (though admittdely Python didn't have standard nested-scope closures until even later)
03:55 muurkha         Perl4 didn't even have references.  in Python and Lua everything is references
12:33 BuckarooBanzai  !tell awells travelnet issue is fixed with https://github.com/mt-mods/travelnet/commit/6b0bf6e7222f25ed94fee239c94882942e4eef8a feel free to open an issue next time :)
12:33 MinetestBot     BuckarooBanzai: yeah, yeah
