(Except JS uses braces and maps, not > parens and cons) Here we come full circle to the beginning of the thread where somebody mentioned Lua; Javascript is very, very similar to Lua, modulo the syntax, and Lua's metatables. LuaJIT is faster than V8, last time I checked, and both are only really usable on PC (V8 does have an ARM implementation, AFAIK). And Lua is somewhere between one and two orders of magnitude smaller to embed. _______________________________________________ Sweng-Gamedev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.midnightryder.com/listinfo.cgi/sweng-gamedev-midnightryder.com
