That whole thread is interesting. (I saw it earlier.)
Microsoft seems to have next to no quality control regarding their telemetry functions.

A misquote?
I'm pretty sure this one's down to lax controls and incompetence though, considering there are registry keys and group policy settings that supposedly turn off this behaviour (and that Microsoft has lots of company customers that probably aren't too happy about this).

Stupid joke aside, I had to double check if JS actually acts like a normal language and see "false" as a string instead of equivalence to false.
JavaScript is pretty decent now, even [url=https://garry.tv/2014/08/16/i-fell-out-of-love-with-lua]Garry likes it[/url]

Especially when you try to use multiple languages for a single application. Really gets confusing when small things are different :@

He is right as far as lua goes, but using javascript instead? That teaches you even wronger coding standards.

BadWrong Double Plus Coding for Dummies.
Lua, especially when you went 10-20 years back, crushed the competition purely based on features that mostly weren't really related to the language itself.
The VM offered one of a kinda performance, cross platform compatibility, both the runtime and static memory/storage footprint was incredibly tiny. The code was super simple.
The syntax was aimed at people who had [B]minimal [/B]programming experience, they tried to make it read like a book.
For example some middleware like applications we deployed/supported used a 'scripting language' because the variation between all clients was so big that it made more sense to increase customizability rather then building an incredibly big monolith. And allowing people who are way-more hands-on with the client to easily tweak/create these scripts was very time efficient.
The thing where lua in gmod is a great fit is stuff like the super simple hooks. The part where it fails (and other likewise language would as well) is where you share a lot of state/date betwheen hooks (gamemodes weapons etc), it slowlya makes the code hard to profile and debug, and tools are absolutely shit.

Poing being is that once you get to the point of having the same issues garry does, like non-transfarable knowledge because of syntax, missing features. You're not really in the good usecases for Lua anymore, as far as the language goes.
