Hi all,
first of all thanks to Liine for developing Lemur further !
Q: which language is used in the scripting-syntax ?
Python, Java, C ?
Many thanks

No one, really ?
Besides my Max/MSP ans some Smalltalk programming knowledge I can`t really program. It would be a good idea to know in which language Lemur operates, in order to learn it..

Hi
I guess it is perhaps it's own dialect -kinda objecty C'ish with it's own libraries, with a dash of Smalltalk style dot notation would be one way I might describe it . . .
The manual and the editor interface both document the language side of things fairly well and deserve a good study and continued reference.
I'm guessing you would probably go okay particularly if you have Max for a bit of it's magic . . .
Cheers

Thanks Macciza,
I'm in the middle of the manual-study, it provides indeed a good point to start. However, I prefer to learn things from ground up, so only what I can do now is guessing about the right syntax and methods... Maybe we can start a discussion here about general scripting experiences, something like a basic knowledge base:
- your favorite expression
- things you should know
- things you should avoid
- clean coding
- code sharing
- recources for learning this language further ( books, links )
- implementation with other languages ( like Max/MSP, Python )
- etc

Hi!
I'd say it's neither nor. It uses its own language, but I think if you are familiar with Java or C#, you'll be pretty fine - the syntax basically is the same. But then again, it's absolutely not necessary to learn these languages just for Lemur scripting! Lemur may be complex, but it is by far not as complex as Java or C#.
My suggestion: Make sure to become familiar with loops, conditions, arrays, functions and accessing object-attributes. The manual says it all - no need to learn Java or any other language similar to the Lemur-scripting-language. Just stick to the manual and you'll be fine!
Btw, happy new year to all!

Hey mux, thanks for pointing it out !
It's always better to know which direction to take.
I'm a bit familiar with arrays and loops from Smalltalk (Kyma) and just finished reading the manual. Much more is clear now.
Edit: Anyway, it would be great to hear an official statement from Liine ....
Happy 2012 all !
