Is AutoIT perfect?


Recommended Posts

After further deliberation, I find I should probably elaborate on my previous LOVE post.

Is AutoIt perfect?

In a technical sense, NO.

In an objective sense, YES .... but with qualifiers.

By objective, we are talking RELATIONSHIP.

Just like any relationship, the partnership you have with AutoIt, is critical.

Early on, your relationship can turn to love, and indeed for many, including myself, this happened with AutoIt.

Many then later fall out of love with AutoIt, but not so myself and many others.

As with any relationship that turns to love, there is a certain blindness in the early stages.

That blindness can lead you to believe, that there is only PROS and no CONS.

Obviously you eventually drift away from that stance with growth and gradually awakening of understanding.

So, just like any worthwhile relationship over time, where you accept faults, and perhaps feel more endeared because of them, you can develop a different sense of perfection, that is not based on the object being perfect, but rather the overall potential you aspire to or have gained.

In that regard, AutoIt is perfect to me ... and many others.

Can that perfection be improved?

Objectively, YES.

Technically, NO.

The brilliance about AutoIt though, is that you can achieve a relative sense of it being perfect, which is unlike many other languages out there ... most I deem.

Multiple GUIs are actually very easy to work with if you take the time to learn how.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

i dont like only the way that we create and organize GUIs.

creating a multiple GUI is a pain in the ass. (at least for me ^^ )

I welcome you here, and hope future comments by you will be more thoughtful.

For I really dislike it, when apparent newbies, of 4 posts (though I guess you may have been using AutoIt for some time before joining the forum), come along and give a blanket statement, without any explanation, other than  'at least for me'.

Being a newbie here, you really should give some detail or say nothing at all.

There should be no WE in your statement.

It is clearly a problem that a seemingly inexperienced person (yourself) is having.

I and many other experienced users here, don't have that problem ... not that we can really tell from your generic statement, what your exact problem is.

Believe it or not, you may have missed something in your skill development thus far.

And I doubt this is the appropriate part of the forum to get enlightened.

Your last comment proves it's a limitation in your skill and not AutoIt. Read the help file and wiki before blaming AutoIt

Hi Programmers,

I give good words to everybody here about Autoit.

 

We know that Autoit will be in any computer when you want to use it.

It is not the language itself, it is the users/programmers group, people, programmers, users, who give sense to Autoit.

 

I See that smartphones will be the next step in the Computer evolution, but Windows-pc will be alive as there are hundreds of millions of pcs and millions of users who know about autoit, and it is free and easy.

 

Now you can run in a limited way any app of Autoit at Zorinos-Wine and there are some millions Linux PCs.

 

 

There is a power user of Autoit.es forum who is creating by himself a Autoit -> Java exporter. Not to move apps to Java, but to create new apps with Autoit, and then reuse itis code for this UGLY java language (for me) compared to Autoit, so many {{}{}{} and other uncomfortable features.. It seems you must be forced into Java (or other) for a native programming ;)

 

I paste some long ago 2010 post I published so that you can think about what happened in 2010 and in 2013,

 

 

 

 

2008:

 

Also some nice exports of autoit logic as:

 

The Autoit world does not end at autoitscript, but there are thousands of programmers on the whole world in many forum as German,Spanish, French etc... who give new ideas and help to spread the word..

 

 

Long life to basic scripting.. hope Autoit can get into the tablets world as Ubuntu by example:

http://www.emesn.com/autoitforum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3730 (spanish translate)

 

So when you are alive, Autoit is Alive and you may use when you want as you have the knowledge and binaries to run it :), so long life to this basic as long we are thinking it is there. Several Thousands of Autoit programmers.

 

I can switch to other languages but Autoit is the MOST STRAIGHTFORWARD language I know, and uncomplicated ..

 

Salud

 

Edit:

Year 2006,2007,..

 

Good afternoon from Sunny Canaries,

I See that smartphones will be is the next step in the Computer evolution? 

is there any updated development in Autoit switching into WEB development (php style), available with some kind of CMS wordpress like?

Is Autoit still working right with Windows 10?

Is Autoit compatible with any domotic system, or Alexa etc...?

 

I wish you a nice day.

 

Cheers

Maybe you need to go into the shade and treat your sunstroke as this is a totally ridiculous post with all these quotes from the past and the quoted  questions & Text & Formating...
