High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.
I agree with this 100 times over
How is that code inefficienct? Your not making sense. That code works perfectly and flawlessly. In far less time and effort.
Again, we're not coding Hypixel's new minigame here. That's not what I was advertising.
Then just drop it now, "bro".
I'm not dropping anything. I didn't start this, and I'm not going to end it either.
I'm pretty sure he's talking about the fact skript has to process your "code" as your lines don't just automatically work.
What are you talking about? Skript has to process your code just like any other programming language. (Don't flip, I know Skript isn't a programming language.)
But skript has to read your code and then get it to work.
Java has to read your code too. So does any language.
He's saying that you are WRITING the code quickly, but is it actually efficient? The code is being executed by a separate plugin. Just because it works, it doesn't mean that it is efficient. You keep focusing on the fact that it can be written easily, but not paying attention to the fact that programming is about writing code that executes efficiently.
Not that Skript is programming at all LOOL.
But Java has to "read" skript, therefore it does it twice. Less efficient. Once/if you learn Java, or any other language you'll see how fun it can actually be even if it's hard.[DOUBLEPOST=1438645374,1438645308][/DOUBLEPOST]And what I'm saying by "reading" is completely wrong but I'm typing on an iPad so I can't be assed to type much.
I'll give Java a try. Thanks for the enormous amount of crap you all have given me.
Long live the Java-Master-Race!
I've never touched Skript in my life, and I never will.
Skript, by design, cannot be more efficient than Java at all. In no way shape or form is there any use-case where Skript would perform better for a task than a Bukkit plugin written in Java. I've never touched Skript with a 10 foot pole, but most likely Skript gets interpreted at runtime by the actual Skript plugin. Because of this, it's de-facto slower than a plugin written in Java.
Furthermore, the example of the "amazing and powerful syntax" of Skript you provided is awful. For example, let's take a look at this line
"if {coal.%player%} is greater than or equal to 100:"
The way this is phrased, it implies that player is a property of coal. It would make more logical sense to be in the order "%player%.coal", because "coal" would be a value stored within a player, not the other way around.
May god have mercy on your soul.[DOUBLEPOST=1438670672,1438670546][/DOUBLEPOST]

There's a difference though. Java gets compiled down to byte code, and that gets interpreted by the JRE. However, the Bukkit plugin script would have to interpret Skript "code", so in essence you're adding an extra, useless step. Java is already "interpreted" (depending on how you look at what the JVM does).
