LUA ARRAYS START AT 1.

I HATE MY LIFE.

I first saw this rant on a CC Computer :D

Also, yeah. Fuck Lua and its arrays.

Well that happened

😂

@olback Your Program is amazing and I love you for it. Put it on Pastebin please.

@PrivateGER https://github.com/olback/...

That is not the latest version cuz I can't use pastebin put due to a 24h limit in CC :(

@olback What limit?

@PrivateGER There is a pastebin limit so that you can't make spam bots with CC. It's like 20 pastebin put/gets per 24h/server.

-- Note: Arrays start at 1 in this shitty language. Fuck me. Took way to loong for me to realize that

@olback try hastebin

@BindView there's no direct integration with cc for it though

Yeah but you can choose to start at 0 if you prefer.

@olback

Lua is a pretty neat language though :)

@dfox the god of the site has thus spoken, its now a sin to shit on Lua everyone. (Yeah I agree its quite a good scripting language, OpenResty everyone?)

Computer Science professors: "mathematically, arrays should start at 1"
Me: "lol. No."

@dfox But you have to agree there are some huge flaws in actual usability.

The first time. I ever had contact with Lua was on a gamejam. The team I had picked was Lua fans, using löve2d as a framework.
One of them told me "it's. Like Javascript, if you take only the good parts." three days later my verdict was "its like Javascript if you take all the bad things"..
Sometimes I still have nightmares in which I see metatables over metatables.. just to emulate something resembling oop..

But it makes sense! First element have index 1, second have 2, etc. It made sense back in the old days to start with zero, because then you can have 256 elements in an array instead of 255. But now, in a language that uses goddamn floats for indexes anyway? Why bother?

Floats as Index is a feature which God requested. Basically he uses it to determine which devs deserve to go to hell - those who use it.

even life starts with 0 !

@PrivateGER definitely

@busuu nobody takes Matlab serious

@busuu shit?
