While() not only loops, but also checks for the expression to be true. I think for a fair comparison, that AHK should have to use an if statement in the loop, to check if i is not equal to 1,000,000. Also, AutoIt does not have a SetBatchLines command that I am aware of.

exact time measurement for a 100 femtoseconds accuracy.
I like atomic clocks!!

Trikster, so you are saying that he should give AutoIT a chance by slowing down AHK ?

Not really, I just think we should give them a level playing field

The main difference is that AutoIt is still actively developed.

These task-automation languages are not meant for large projects or time critical applications, so the speed is not the most important thing. AutoIt’s built in COM support, Unicode handling, data types, arrays, much better flow controls (loops, conditionals, switches), better networking support oppose AHK’s faster operation, simpler hotkey/hotstring definitions, low level hacks, and most importantly, a more helpful user community.

i like AutoIt's versatile functionalities but i hate to see...

1) $ prefix on every single variable name
2) Start...End blocks rather than {...}
3) basic-like operators such as AND OR NOT rather than c-like operators && || !

the scripts above are purely testing the speed of asimple ahk Loop function which is totally different to a while() which evaluates a complex expression (not just a number but could be return of multiple functions)

Other tests you can try

ahk

i have never used any of AUTOIT or AHK
i was looking for info in order to decide.
just by reading those guest posts bashing everyone , and asking for more credit i have made my mind alredy.

even that i had never used any of the two, just by simple google searching for info on both i noticed that AHK had some AUTOIT influence, and after just a couple of minutes i even noticed they were credited in many parts.
at one point i even thought they where brother projects (seeing the references of autoit in ahk alone)

then i went to autoit forums and omg!!!!
they dont seem to make them look like brother projects at all

as far as credit goes in GPl or other type of open licenes
if you follow the ruls you are good to go.

i say this as a programmer . users could;nt care less about who made what, they want a usable app period.

programmers on the other hand like to be credited (im ok with that)
but as someone said, it is enough to have a mention in the code that that piece of code was taken from elsewhere and then look the appropiate documentation if you really want to find more about it, i DO NOT like to edit code where half the content is credits 1/4 remarks and the other 1/4 code, that complicates readability a lot
if i am somehow interested in sending flowers to the original , then and only then will i look at the docuemtnation in order to find who he is, what his name is, whre does he live, and what color he likes his flowers.

but since I COULDNT care less either, dont expect any flowers any soon.

better try to make a better product adn then the people who care about credits will start wanting to know about the original coders.

@arana - Nice rant, would you mind explaining what you just said in a way that isn't quite that confusing and disjointed? Most of that seemed to be you getting pissed off about credits/comments in a code that you will probably never even look at.
