The Source SDK will be similar to the existing Half-Life SDK in that it will be C++ based, not a using a proprietary scripting language.

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Just a quick thought/question. Half-Life 2 and it's modifications will be done with C/C++, as it was in Half-Life, correct? There's a handful of discussions blooming up on various Half-Life 2 forums talking about this. Scripting languages can be very limiting... so it's a bit scary what Gabe Newell's quote from a PC Gamer article said: "While the old system required its fair share of technical know-how, amateur modders are now promised the chance to focus on content and gameplay flow rather than the nuts and bolts of programming." This could imply a scripting language, don't you agree? (Emphasis on could) Hopefully this is not the case, of course. A scripting language might be neat for people new to creating modifications, but it'd be nice to have C/C++ in addition. I don't think Valve would step away from the power C/C++ offers to modders, but nothing has really been confirmed. Can anyone from Valve confirm if C/C++ will still be used for Half-Life 2?
