That looks very interesting, thank you! I don't want to introduce an unneeded dependency, but I'll make it so people can write in Moonscript and have it work with Jelly, thanks again!

"pb" stands for Peanut Butter, and often when people abbreviate it to pb they add "& Jelly" (or "and Jelly"), as in "PB&J sandwich". Since there is pbLua, he is calling this JellyLua :lol: Yep, exactly :) I've pushed the first commit to the repo, It b...

My philosophy is a bit different: Do something you like. If you're lucky, others will like it too. (this has worked for me) Yep, that's why I'm doing it! I'm still having trouble getting Lua to talk to the serial port without blocking (I want to write a tool to easily concatenate and send Lua files...

Haha, I hope I make you proud, although I probably won't.

Yep! I don't see why a simple type of RPC couldn't be possible over Bluetooth...

Thank you very much for your help, very interesting points! The remote-controlled vs on-brick debate is very apt, but I think nxt-python is too far off the brick and nxt-lua is too far on the brick. Maybe my framework will include libraries for easily offloading computation to the PC to execute and ...

I see, thank you for illustrating the differences. I think it essentially boils down to the compiled vs interpreted debate, so each language is suited to its own use cases. pbLua does need its own firmware, which is a bit of a disadvantage, but I think that a small framework would find some use in t...

Hi all, I came upon pbLua the other day, and it sounds like a very good, high-level way of developing for the NXT. I'm not clear on how popular it is, because I'm just starting out, but I see that the language mostly mentioned here is NXC. Can someone explain to me the relative merits of each? That ...
