The story

// todo

AutoIt 4?

The AutoIt+ logo looks like number 4!

Yep, the original idea was the 4th version of AutoIt, with more outstanding features:

• Multi-threading support

• New C API interactive instead of DllOpen, DllCall

• New garbage collector

• Virtual machine for code execution

• Bytecode compiling instead of a3x

• ... and more, mainly performance improvements

TODO

AutoIt is not programming language?

Yep, it is not a real programming language, just a scripting language or macro like VBA 😀.

Back to the history, AutoIt is released under opensource software (and now, freeware software)

We don't like it, from syntax to how it works. Too slow...

TODO

What is the "real programming language"?

No standard about of real programming language.

According to our point of view, these programming language have no or just a few dependents on their implementation.

"AutoIt" is pronounced "auto-eet", not "auto-ai-tee".
