Re: LUA Vs Javascript

[Jan Schütze <JanS@...>]

Hey,

the difference is (in javascript):
try {
   // try something strange which usually works
} catch (e) {
   // on exception
}

there it actually does not matter where the exception is thrown, you 
just need to find a place where the try+catch handles it. So its' pretty 
much, like php5/c#/java/delphi manages exceptions and gives you quite 
simple possibility to handle the exceptions when it occurs and where you 
want to handle it - with the opportunity to continue the script after 
the exception is handled. I wasn't able to create a quite similar and 
simple approach in lua, yet. It would be cool, if that would be possible 
with error+pcall somehow!

Except that - which is actually just quite important for widely splitted 
and modularized software - I see the possibilities of lua (considering 
speed which is/was way better then current javascript implementations) 
are really worth to check and evaluate it as opportunity.

Regards,
 Jan
