Allot of people didn't like the Lua syntax, so if we're ever going to implement another language it's probably because of that.

I guess doing something like this in lua with a decent speed is not possible. Well, maybe witj luajit but not right now.
I prefeare lua to c++ and I would continue using lua.
But c++ would give unlimited possibities (like if you were directly modifying the server) to people with enough experience.

And it would be platform-specific, which is not what we want.

Not if it was a just-in-time compiler.
Lua JIT + C++ Jit = Epic Win

Paraphrasing xoft:
Lua is fast enough for almost everything. If there is something Lua is not fast enough for, it is implemented in c++ and exposed in the API.\

I believe STR already coded something like the Tornado command from the Catastrophes plugin, and I see no reason why Lua wouldn't be fast enough for these.

Yes, though it could be optimized quite a bit

But toni, that's for GCC 5.x (which isn't even released yet). not every platform will have support for it. And since it's so new I doubt Windows has it.

On line 268 of Noise.h there is an explicit value of pi. Does anyone know why its not M_PI?
