Schoening 4 Posted January 18, 2012 I like AutoIt ! A Friend keeps telling me to change to C# for MultiThreat. I don't really care atm. But i checked out some features of C#. And it made me think that their have some similarities. Being a noob it made me wonder why, since AutoIt is programmed in C++ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaberwacky 327 Posted January 18, 2012 Multi threading multi schmeming. Back in my day we had so many kilobytes of free memory and a blinking cursor. Use AutoIt as a springboard to other languages but you shouldn't abandon AutoIt to focus solely on one language.

ZacUSNYR 4 Posted January 18, 2012 AutoIt is great for what it's meant for. I've been learning C# and Objective-C - OOP is completely different compared to the "basic-like" scripting of AutoIt. My learning is pretty hindered in the other languages because I find more use for AutoIt in the work place. So i've been messing around with the XNA kit and working on games in my spare time.

MilesAhead 23 Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) C# has its features. Especially if you like creating forms in a designer. But if you want to get into the nitty gritty why not take the plunge and learn C/C++ ?? There are free compilers for just about every platform. Especially now they are adding all kinds of language features to C++ so that you can program as sloppy as you want. Just create a Lamba expression to suck in all the variables in the vacinity to produce unreadable code!! heh hehIt is a guilty pleasure though. And speaking of threading, the new C++ has cooperative threading just by using a few language constructs. You don't have to do _beginthread() anymore for many things.
