AngelScript: The Revenge

I get what you are saying, but I don't have time right now to go over all of that. I wish you would post smaller chunks of text when there is only a few key points relevant. :/

1) You are making a huge deal about arrays for no good reason. Here is a ZScript array:

 int a[] = {1, 2, 3};
//or
int a[3];

Here is an AS array:

 int[] a = {1, 2, 3};
//or
int[] a(3);
//or
int[] a; a.Resize(3); //etc..
Array<int> = {1, 2, 3};
Array<ffc> f;
Array<MyClass@> ae;
eweapon[] aew;
//etc....

Oh my god! They are so different I don't know what to do!?

2) int a = 0.5; This will end everything and the sees will boil! ...No. This is caught at compile time. No debugging required, just change the stuff to other stuff when the compiler tells you you fucked it up. ...or... just don't convert it to AS and keep using ZScript. Old quests will still work. ZScript will still work. I've said this enough already.

I know that your scripts are hacks built around the fact that ZScript is very limited in features. Surely you also must recognize that your scripts are by far the most 'out there' and are not a good sample of normal scripts. I'm sorry that migrating your stuff over to AS is by far the absolute worst case scenario, but for most people it's nowhere near as bad. So just keep using ZScript if you want.

I've used angelscript for two side projects over the last 6 years. It works great. The only people not in favor of improved fully-featured script support for future versions seem to be you and Dimentio. If you can explain that without strictly /personal/ reasons or motives and why it is not good for future ZC users then I'm all ears. If you can't then, well, we're just going to have to bring back General Bitching.
