@raptor85@mastodon.gamedev.place Python is BASIC and C had a baby.

@vwbusguy@mastodon.online python is just verbose lua made by someone allergic to punctuation and formatting.

@raptor85 It's kind of the opposite, IMO, since Python was older and Lua was trying to fit somewhere in the space around Python, Perl, and Ruby.

@raptor85@mastodon.gamedev.place Perl is a cat that got ahold of C's yarn and now there's bits of string everywhere.
