>Lua predates PHP by 2 years Woah, TIL. At most, I would have guessed it was 10 years old.

>Besides C, every language I've worked in comes with one of these things built-in. JavaScript? When talking about a language most refer to as "JavaScript-like", it's definitely a n…

>It is perfectly ethical to use ideas for free? Unequivocally, yes.

Does it matter if that company is from EU? Even a new engine centralized in the US won't be able to operate in the EU without substantial cost. That's a pretty big market/data sour…
