"mIRC Script is mIRC Script, it's not java, C++, PHP, whatever."Agreed
- In fact, I'm getting rather bored with people constantly saying how mIRC script should follow the principals and rules that those other languages follow. People learn mIRC script, they trot off around the cyber world for a couple of years and learn other languages, then they come back here and say how mIRC script isn't following this and that standard and it should do this and that like This and That++ does.
Khaled just gave a reason for it not being changed despite the fact that he has thought about it.
I understand why people who code a lot and know other languages may get mixed up between this and others, but it's just an IRC client, it's not meant to be setting some sort of Internet standard. mIRC does what it does, and has exceeded the expectations, I feel, of thousands of people. I'm sure that in the future it will develop even more (look how far it's come in 5 years, quite amusing browsing over
versions.txt). BUT I don't agree with the constant comparisons made between mIRC scripting and C/C++/Java/PHP/etc..
My 2 cents
