I, for one, agree with you. Repeatability of rnd sequences is useful for profiling/optimizing.

In my humble opinion, readability and user-friendliness of V2 is MUCH BETTER compared to V1!!! Since I had moved from V1 to V2 ~5 years ago, I never thought to come back.
V1's syntax, weirdness and nonuniformity is atrocious.

I'll be watching the help forums and doing my best to help explain the differences in AHK v2.

U've done great job converting lots of AHK v1 scripts recently! Please make sure u do not discard original AHK V1 scripts so that the community could compare the conversion steps required.

vvhitevvizard

Its been a while since AHK V2 became pretty much stable but people avoided it due to "alpha" monicker. :D Congratulations to the AHK community! update... from what? u cant possibly expect a migration guide for any random past alpha version. read the changelog and update accordingly. I believe the co...

Paused (II), Suspended (with red border) are the best ones so far IMHO. 2 thumbs up! But the document one with H letter's gradient fill is out of this set - we better use simplified design w/o gradients.

I like this one. Color, font and text layout.

I really do not think autohotkey can be improved! In a nutshell, AHK v1 cannot be called a scripting language - its a set of heterogenous commands... 2. The code was humanly readable, even without training. I beg to differ - learning curve was relatively steep - a typical AHK v1 user couldn't write...

Ragnar's one is more simple and simplicity wins in the long run.

vvhitevvizard

@vvhitevvizard to be fair, this really depends whether you guys are barbarians who write your scripts with no whitespace around your operators ;) :lol: As far as I know, there r no coding style conventions for AHK. Barbarians r the ones who edit texts w/o syntax highlighting and suffer a lot from d...

The current V2 scripts would require some (really simple tho) regular expressions to swap "=" to "==" and then ":=" to "=".

vvhitevvizard

It would require regular expressions to search and replace considering that "="/"==" comparison operators need to be replaced with "=="/"===" respectively.

vvhitevvizard

The main benefit of making such a switch is never discussed. I suspect it was one of the most frequent topics in the past. Along with command syntax removal. :D What is the benefit? You can say it's easier to type, but after your change everyone must use == for comparison. Analyze ur own scripts an...

As mentioned, these long list of BASIC-like and Pascal-like dialects are not going anywhere. It doesn't matter how many basic or pascal variants exist. It won't make them more popular even combined. U've mentioned "TIOBE ranking". It lists C as top1 and Python as top2, followed by Java, C++, C#. Th...

vvhitevvizard

basic/pascal WAS all over the place. Not anymore. U r correct about business criteria in addition to technical criteria like whether something is or is not good at syntax design/run time performance/etc. B.Stroustrup in his "C++ FAQ" covered that alot. Anyways, C family has insanely huge installed b...

If people want to use C/C++ or JavaScript, there is nothing stopping them from doing so more directly. There is arguably no need to make AutoHotkey more of a clone of what already exists. ... I've also never quite understood the bias against languages that don't look enough like C/C++. We have to a...

vvhitevvizard

As for Pascal/Object Pascal/Delphi, it's not the only programming language using := (Go, Python, Ada, Smalltalk, Eiffel, PL/SQL, PLC Structured Text), so maybe it's not fair to frame an opposing argument in such a way. I've also never quite understood the bias against languages that don't look enou...

vvhitevvizard

This issue keeps coming up and the majority would vote for = instead of := . There r not so many Pascal's syntax admirers. :) Having ONLY 2-symbols comparison operators ( == , >= , != , etc) is completely logical and javascript-like triple equals === for strict comparison is okeyish, too. PS: == vs ...

How is v2 doing, nowaways? From an end user point of view: to me AHK v1 looks like a universal set of specific commands with heterogeneous syntax but not a full-fledged scripting language. Pretty much the vast majority of the AHK v1.1 quirks and illogical/non systematic syntax got addressed. Hundre...
