Re: Commands-only Autohotkey ?
I think it's the worst idea ever. I expected such answers! Still, Is that your subjective or objective opinion? You are correct haha, but the goal here is to standardise the language more towards functional-programming. Sorry, I sound like a party-pooper... Not at all; if AHK does become function-o...

Commands-only Autohotkey ?
With the aim of making for a simpler language (less to learn when beginning, less differences in style between programmers), what if... :idea: ... eliminate all functions and make Autohotkey a commands-only language (I guess it would be called purely imperative/procedural https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

Re: Understanding AutoHotkey
Well, I did not mean to say that Autohotkey is a hard language, but that it could be made easier to learn for the beginner by removing redundancies and quirks. 2. If you write code sloppy and without comments etc of course that's going to make it harder for anyone to understand it. I think you misun...

Re: My windows XP Professional has infected with virus
I have an old laptop, weaker than my cheap smartphone. Running XP home edition too, and being slow on the internet, I disabled the antivirus.... Used like this without problems for almost a year now.
Though, true that I use it only from Guest mode, and not for serious stuff.

Re: The Future of the AutoHotkey Programming Language
It's been around for more than 10 years. How many more, I think it all depends on this community and its developers and their efforts at increasing the usability, so that to stay competitive (think AutoIT and other tools): - ease of adoption and use - functionality/power I HOPE it lives long enough,...

Re: Are we anti-cheat?
IMO, the official tutorial included in the documentation is one of the official faces of Autohotkey, it is the main entry point to many beginners. If there are concerns that supporting people cheat in games damages the reputation of Autohotkey, then I would say such support should be limited. So if ...

Re: The Future of the AutoHotkey Programming Language
@ vasili : yes, perhaps it will get more attention there. This is one of the greatest posts I read so far, I don't understand why there have been so few replies to it and little discussion. While it is not perfect, it does suggest the general ways to make Autohotkey friendlier to beginners: Traits t...

Re: Understanding AutoHotkey
True, nothing stops me from using my favorite symbol, and you from using yours. And same things goes with a number of other things syntax-related in Autohotkey. However, this is cumulative, and what that leads to overall, is: 1. Harder to learn the language for beginners, both because it is nonstand...

Re: Understanding AutoHotkey
Really? I've mostly used Matlab in the past, and there it's just "==" for all comparisons (and means case sensitive). Besides, they have string specific functions like strcmp() and strcmpi(), for case sensitive, and case insensitive. In Python, there a single equality operator: "==" , and means case...

Re: Rainbow Six Siege No recoil?
I am. many people are, thus why we made a Gaming sub-section so we don't have to see them. If this was my forum I'd ban game questions, like autoit forums. strictly no games. But I'm not incharge and a lot of people think that's a bad idea. That's at odds with the presence of a section on gaming in...

Re: Understanding AutoHotkey
I think equality comparison, by default, should mean "identical", and there should be a single symbol for that (either = or ==). In case of strings, then case sensitive comparison. If the user needs case insensitive, then there should be a parameter or something to be added for this. Then there will...

Re: Suggestion: Create subforums for big AHK projects
It will be useful to have a subsection "Documentation improvements proposals" in the "Wish list", or even as a separate section. So that to have all such proposals in one place, rather than scattered among changes to the language / autohotkey itself.

Re: Can AHK be considered a bonafide programming language?
In other languages, if something is easy to do for beginners, then it has no value (think of "Hello World" program...or a loop that does nothing but add 1+1 a 1000 times), while to get something of value to you, you need to learn a lot first. And in AHK, you can get value/usefulness, for your presen...
