I think, Frank, that in your previous post you hit the nail on the head. Users, in general, will probably not want to write their Geany plug-ins in C. And plug-ins written in a HLL like Lua are easily
Lua is high-level programming level and C not? At least some years ago C was also a high-level programming language ;-). SCNR.
I see your point, Enrico, but my hunch is still that, if an average Geany user wants a plug-in that doesn't yet exist, they're most likely going to write it in a "high-level scripting language", or not write it at all. Of course, my crystal ball has been failing unit tests since I first plucked it from the land fill, so take that with a grain of salt. :)
Sure ;-). I know what you mean, I just wanted to mention that IMO C is also a high-level programming language and yes, it's not a scripting language. And yes, I also agree that average users(dangerous to speak about "average" users in general ;-)) might rather be or get familar with some easy scripting languages than with a real programming language. Just a matter of taste and for plugins it might be indeed useful to use scripting languages if possible. Btw, I would like to work on the Python integration but still no idea how. If anyone has any experiences with that or know a good resource of documentation, feel free to post it(in a new thread please).
