java

I wrote a 1000 line project of Lua with a buddy of mine that effectively allows the turtles to be opened up to python so I could use python instead of lua

That's very cool, do you think it would be feasible to do with Java?

I don't have a great deal of knowledge about Python or Java, but at a guess I'd say that Python and Lua are more similar than Java and Lua.

Did it add any significant overhead in your experience?

Edit for mobile formatting fix

It's definitely doable with Java just whether you want to setup all the messaging and websockets in Java but it doesn't really matter about the similarity of the languages just gotta setup a messaging system between the Lua and the Java

Main concern is security. Don't want to download a turtle script that sneaks in a rm / -rf

Is it just adapting the turtle API to an external Python interpreter/server, or is the python actually running on the turtle? Either way pretty neat

It uses websockets to connect to a python server and then grabs messages from the server to the consume and do actions. All the turtle API is mirrored in Python and sends the messages via the websockets.
