 Posted: Fri Mar 14, 2008 8:42 am Post subject: what's IMPOSSIBLE with AHK? |
 |
|
i know there's many threads asking 'what's possible with ahk'
but it's a bit different question 
i've been want to learn programming language to make my own apps.
after examine programming languages
i realize that writing apps requires too much time and effort
so i thought it's worthless unless i'm gonna sell apps
few months ago, i found Python script language which fit my needs
Easy, Quick, Powerful,
but i found AutoHotKey while thinking of learning Python.
it was totally awesome.
More Easy, More Quick than Python
i never imagine that making apps can be done in this shortest time and less effort
and now i'm curious that what's the limitation of AutoHotKey?
what's impossible? especially comparing to Python
maybe online messenger like icq? i don't know.
i don't want to make games.
so i don't care even ahk can't use DirectX
my only interest is making apps
tell me your experience that you met the limitation of AutoHotKey
what was impossible? |

Probably the only limit is performance. It is probably impossible to write a modern game in AHK that will run smooth on current machines.

You could learn both. |

It's only limited by programmer's skills not the language

unfortunately i met the limitation of AHK
unicode 
can't display unicode texts properly in gui
which means AHK can't interlock with zillions of web pages in unicode
i know it's known problem and unpromised future feature
well but i still like AHK |

Multi-threading would be pretty awesome. I'm not fond of using infinite loops to monitor state changes, but I'm even less fond of using timer objects for the same thing.
If it were possible to create infinite loops with a so-called "Do Events" command, I'd be happy.

None of these is impossible. They just have no internal support. It is possible to parse unicode strings as binary data. It is possible to implement your own threading mechanism.

| Like m^2 said, it is not impossible. The question here is, if it is possible in any way, not at good performance. Performance is not asked here. |
