Psch, you clearly don't remember me that well
I never used VB, not once. The first program I released was completely cross-platform, if you recall
Now, I see that rather than using Java like I discussed with Mumei and Hydro back in the day, Codex headed towards Python.
That's an interesting choice, but I was expecting something interesting like C++ with Lua for simple scripting at this point
I mentioned VB more as a low water mark rather than to imply that you specifically used it
You're asking me to remember what you programmed in 5 years ago? I barely remember what our programmers are working in now, let alone what you were working on five years ago. Until a few months back I thought the program manager was coded in Java, not Python
I believe Python was chosen in order to facilitate cross-platform functions, as well as the database functions. I could be wrong though, and there are many (perhaps better) reasons to use it. Also, our programmers at the time were all fluent in Python, whereas I think only Hydro knows C++ really well (maybe ShadowLink or Laser as well). Kind of odd really, because I remember Euphoria absolutely raving about Python and basically getting laughed out of the room. Four years down the road, here we are all using it.
Mumei sadly hasn't been seen in a while. I still remember how he bought the forum license for us. What a guy. On his motorcycle with his ponytail. Jolly fucker
