You must have a pretty strange definition.

[Mitch]

You must not only have your mind set on learning the specific programming language, or type of code but you must also have to brain capacity to do so. If you cannot fully understand, do not try javascript or php or any language because that is used as a basis of web page design. Although graal script is getting a bit harder, it still remains to be a basis of harder languages and is as basic as you can get. I recommend you make sure you fully understand arithmetic, trig, and have the capacity to take on another language.

Although most people don't seem to think so, I consider a programming language to be thought of as a foreign language. You cannot just start French, Spanish, and Latin all at the same time, unless your exceptionally smart. You need to start with one, and then once you have mastered that language move onto the next one. As I recall I took Spanish, then French and Latin last, to ensure I made it as easy for myself as possible and to make sure I covered all I needed to know in high school.

Yo Mitch, Graal Script got easier you fool. And Kai, the reason I don't count gscript as a credible programming language is because I don't give it a great deal of credibility.

So what is your definition of 'scripting language'?

Truthfully, Gscript is not an independant protocol, and can't really be considered a scripting language so much as a branch of one (C/C++ I guess, since that's what Graal is coded in now and the structure; particularly the GUI functions are very C/C++ish).

Though, Graal could be considered an environment, as PHP servers serve as an environment for PHP. Still, I would almost call Gscript1/2 too user friendly to be an actual language, in the sense that it doesn't have the same range of functions which other languages have. It's iffy; kind of like calling VB a real language.

What a thoroughly meaningless statement. GScript never claimed to be a "protocol".

If you think that C is a scripting language then you clearly don't know how the term is defined.

There is nothing "iffy" about that designation.

I meant to say that Graal isn't a protocal that makes GScript independant. Whoops.

It's a coding language, I guess. Misspoke.

Dude, I consider languages to be things that you actually have to understand to pick up. And by understand, I mean the nitty-gritty, core mechanics of the engine and so-forth. Sure, everything boils down to binary, but that's irrelevant. There are just some reasonable boundaries to draw: you can not write an executable Gscript, and you can not make Gscript perform outside of the Graal engine unless you write a program which uses it as a scripting program. It does not sustain itself outside of its environment.

Stop trolling Kai, I meant that I don't consider it a credible scripting language and you're just trying to irritate everyone today. hmpph!

He's trolling because you made such an egregious error and he called you on it? That's interesting.
