Talk:Maya Embedded Language

Training

I removed td-college as I don't see why it should have its place there if not all other paying training sites do (gnomon, digital tutors, fxphd, total training etc...)

MEL is syntactically similar to the Tcl (Tool Command Language).

I would say this is incorrect. Tcl does not have variable declerations. Tcl does not use round braces in conditionals. The only similarity is the "$" dollar sign to signify a variable. MEL is much more similar to PERL, and thus I am changing this statement to reflect this.

MEL is syntactically identical to PERL (aka C-syntax). The only difference I can fathom is that it uses static typing for variables. 198.144.206.231 10:26, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes i agree that MEL looks more like Perl, However MEL is clearly some kind of shell scripting language similliar to TCSH, Bash or ZSH. Indeed most of MEL makes much more sense if you think of it as a extended command line. --91.155.246.34 (talk) 10:35, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

The [14:16, 9 May 2006] update was vandalism. Reverted to the one before that.

There is a misspelling in the introductory paragraph, which I cannot seem to edit. repetetitive instead of repetitive. Mclarkson (talk) 22:38, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

The example code is *really bad* It actually reflects the exact things that people actually get wrong. In fact its a perfect example of a situatuon where a programmer has forced a solution on Maya that Maya has better tools to deal with. In fact the script could be condensed to 5 lines of code if one would bether to use nodes to do the work like your supposed to. See my comment on how MEL is more a shell language--91.155.246.34 (talk) 10:35, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
