      Hi,

      I did some coffee stuff in the past, but now i want to be able to create more complex stuff and so on.
      So, what should be my choise ? What's most important for me, is of course that it's most possible with the language i choose.
      More than with C++, is not possible i know. But python is going it's way straight ahead. Will it be more developed in the future ? Or even be better than C++ ?

      Thanks in advance, nux

        C++ will always have the more complete API because that's the language Cinema is developed in. So if you are looking for the more complete API then I would say go for C++.

        cheers,

          The Python API can always get bigger and more complete.

          What's more important is, that C++ will give you a better performance, especially in very complex calculations.
          On the other hand, Python does not require compiling/building for different target platforms.

          I'd say: If you come from the Coffee direction, start with Python, it's easier to learn and you can start right off with your code.
