Scripting Languages syntax-highlighting/debug/compile addin idea

[FocusedWolf]

Was just thinking... c++ is a language that gets alot of work with embedded scripting languages like Lua, Python, and Ruby (Lua is best ).

So some syntax highlighting, error checker, and compilation (Lua is only one i'm sure of that supports bytecode compilation), and auto completion would be perfect in C::B.

Short answer:
syntax highlighting: it's already there for Lua and Python.
compilation: with the compiler redesign it will be almost too easy (for now, you can use the Tools menu).
error checker: that's what interpreted shell/compilers are for.
autocompletion: with a CTags plugin it will be easy.

If you are talking about embedded scripting for C::B itself, that's already done, with a language called AngelScript.

Hmm sounds like c::B is on the right track. I think my work here is done :p

Hmm we don't have a ruby lexer though.  I may just write one. :lol:
