Hollywood forums

Hi.

I have a small program. In the main loop it waits for 'WaitLeftMouse'.
There is a debug log before and after with timing.
Sometimes, or actually most of the time when I click in the window it takes ~4 seconds until the 'WaitLeftMouse' wakes up.
Any idea what's wrong there?

Article that might be worth reading, or then not. https://medium.com/@cscalfani/goodbye-object-oriented-programming-a59cda4c0e53 Neither OO nor FP is the magic bullet. And then OO is not equal to OO. There are many additional concepts and implementations which try to eliminate the weak spots of OO....

Can you add some examples how that is used?

That sounds like a lot of work. You should be certain have enough time in the next years to maintain this.

So you want to create something on top of Hollywood that is syntactically similar to Objective-C?
And then create a framework with that?

Yes, I know this framework.
But I'm not sure I understand. This framework doesn't extend the language features, it is an API.

Really? Maybe you have more experience. But I found that Hollywood is very close to Lua. Hollywood makes everything PascalCase, I mean staring with a capital. That's not in Lua. I think that Hollywood actually only adds things to Lua, like the For loop. Lua doesn't know 'For i = 0 to Xyz' but only '...

Ah, OK.
But Hollywood is Lua, actually. Isn't it? OK, the preprocessor replaces some things , but still.

Hmm, OK. So you provide a plugin for this coding it in C/C++?

That sounds good.

What do you mean with you don't recognise the Lua syntax of my posts?
The former or the later?
The former is here: https://www.lua.org/pil/16.1.html
