wow, that was hard, with the search tab opened
Literally that doesn't conflate arrays, hashmaps and objects goes, though.

Lua is faster than all of these though…

You are doing it wrong, user. Looks like you should have deployed native modules or IPC addons instead.

LUA can't even do bitwise logical operations without a fucking library. Fucking worthless.

Its not. Its piss slow.

awful, a scripting language should be simple
problem is it is hard to find a simple interpreters
there are few on github but incomplete
Python might be a better option
Lua is not fast but simple and there is also luajit. It is near the top for me

bad language
fantastic JIT compilers
bad embedded interpreters
lily isn't shit. it's lightweight, statically typed, and has an elegant interpreter.

I like ruby, but it's speed is miserable
is it still worth learning perl5?
Zachary Perez
It's fine to test out new ideas in obscure languages, but the new features/ideas should ideally be merged into a robust production ready (like lua) and people should use that instead
Take Haskell vs Idris for example. The ideas of Idris (dependent types) were merged into the lang Dependent Haskell and will hopefully be added to vanilla Haskell in the future. So you should just use Haskell.

Pike, it looks interesting to me, kind of like c. I've never used it though.
int main()
{
write("Hi there! What's your name?\n");
string name = Stdio.stdin->gets();
write("Nice to meet you, " + name + "!\n");
return 0;
}

The whole point of a scripting language is a sacrifice of speed for ease of writing. If you really care about speed write everything in C or assembly
Dylan Green
What if I want static typing and ease of writing?

either you wait for ruby3 (which supposedly 3 times faster), using different implementation (which run on JVM) or just convert your script to Crystal (a statically typed + compiled language which nearly identical to ruby) when you need it.
I don't think speed is that important.
