Possibility to code plugins in other languages.

Hello, I haven't been to these forums for about a year. Back then (and based on what code I've read so far now) plugins have to be written in PHP. This is extremely inconvenient for me as I really really dislike PHP. I was wondering if it would be possible to code plugins in Python, Node, C# even.
My questions are:
1.)Is it possible
2.)Is it likely to happen
3.)If so, what would it take to accomplish it?

Thanks in advance.

 

As programmer you should already know that it's implausible to do it with PocketMine unless you create some kind of bridge. However you want to check out Nukkit and MiNET. If you don't like PHP then PocketMine is just not for you. Bear with me you're not the only one on this forum who dislikes php now and then.

PHP and Python bridge
PiP - Python In PHP

P.S. Node is a language?

 

Thanks, the MiNET looks the most promising but I'll be sure to check out the PHP/Python bridge.

 

MiNET is fastest MCPE serve software out there but it has one great disadvantage - compatibility. I never got it to run on system. Some says it has bad API, but I'm not sure so see for yourself.

 

Interesting, I'm not an expert at c# by any means, in fact, I'm still learning the language. I have plenty of time, however, since at the moment I have no devices capable of playing MCPE at a steady framerate. (Yes, my phone is that bad)

 

It would indeed be really cool if we would just be able to code the plugins in different languages...

 

That is very true.

 

1. probably yes
2. no
3. some kind of bridge

Why do you assume that the language of a project just changes? PM will always be php. And why exactly do you dislike PHP? No strong types? Performance?

 

MiNET is probably the best performance wise. But installing it on Linux is pretty difficult. And some features won't work.

 

I think we're not right talking about other server software here

 

The entire syntax of PHP just kills me inside haha. The language never felt natural to me.

 

Lol, php is not that heard. When I first tried it, it was confusing but it's really not after you get the hang of it.

 

I'm sure his not talking about the difficulty of it. If you ever have worked with low level language or maybe with Java, you'll understand why php sucks.

 

I don't think the syntax is that what kills you. The syntax is pretty much the same as in every other language
func(args,args);
obj->func(); (ok, the -> is often replaced with .)
$var = 5; (the $ sign is special too, most langs don't need that)
$arr = [72,82]
vs.
arr = {6,5}

Java is low level? I consider it a mid level. You can do low level for sure, but there are many high level things. C is low level. (Raw C, not C#)

 

PHP:

int $foo = PHP_INT_MAX;
bool $bar = true;
// VS. Javascript:
var foo = Number.MAX_VALUE;
var bar = true;

class Foo {
   
   protected $var = false;

   public function getVar() : bool {
      return $var;
   }

   public function reverseVar() {
      $this->var = $var;
   }
}
// VS. Java:
public class Foo {
   
    protected boolean $var = false;

    public bool getVar() {
       return this.var;
    }

    public void reverseVar() {
       this.var = !var;
    }

}

for(int $i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
   print $i;
}
// VS. Go:
for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
   fmt.Println(i)
}


Every programming language has something common.

 

Node.js

 

It's actually Javascript but made to run in the background.

 

That's what I'm tryin gto say...
