Looks like feeds will stay.

I blame Almo for secretly eating stars.

Haha :p

Up to now, Lua seems the easiest to integrate, compared to Python and Javascript..

I think that's one of those things where it's easier to integrate hello world... but harder to integrate a large project

Yeah, maybe. Our devs are more used to Python, so it would make sense to integrate python and have a "single" scrpiting language, but it I don't know how much risk is involved with it.

I have never integrated a scripting language, so I don't have a clue what the "selection parameters" would be.

Me neither really

Question: Do you want to implant a full scripting language that you can do a lot in, or just have simple scripted functions that respond to things

My two first features would be to specify functions as parameter (as in "curve functions", where I supply X as input and the script returns an Y), and some basic AI/robot behaviour, which is only a glorified "curve function".

So b)

Then Lua sounds, to me, the easiest to implement

Lua is a good choice when you cannot trust the script writers, for example when you add modding support for a game and don't want people to write a mod that encrypts their harddrive and demands ransom.

If you want to have a lot of, I guess state? to the scripting language I'd go for python

@nwp when embedding python you can strip it down to a minimal set of supports, for example removing all file operations

Sol2 is pretty decent. Just don't put everything into one file, otherwise compile and link times massively suffer.

@Elva I guess being unable to import, and use any file operations can help it make secure?

@nwp Thanks, I'll take a look at it!

Who names something "shit outta luck 2"?! :p

@Vaillancourt you need to remove quite a few standard libraries, I actually went the other way around and removed everything, then re-added what was needed

There's things like a sqlite implementation, file, pickling, etc

Eek, yeah, ok good point.

I haven't played with it, but do you know if pypy would be a candidate for that?

Uuuh yeah IIRC it's good for that

Though note, never did it for more then test applications

Ok, thanks, I think I'll give it a try during the vacation!

I really wonder how EVE Online packages its python code. Most likely it hides it behind DLLs?

That's a good question man

I also wonder how often they do a pass at "cleaning up the code".

:P

:D
