Pls provide binary API for compiled languages (C).
Just a kind of .DLL/.so that allows plugin development (like the lua side) using C.
The reason is to speed up servers and diversificate the possibilities of modding the game.
i believe lua is quite slow and too much code will make servers crawl...
Using lua for too much things will make minetest as slow as minecraft.
The main reason for minecraft to bee so slow is the use of bytecode language (java). Theoretically, java is faster than lua... Then, all gains aquired by using C++ instead of java will be lost in the lua side of things...
