[JassHelper] Cohadar -vs- Vexorian

[pred1980]

Which should i use and why or the better question - why should i change to Cohadar's ???

Let's discuss...

 

[TriggerHappy]

I would stick with Vex's because apparently Cohadar's has some bugs and backwards compatibility issues (I think).

Vex also designed vJass so I personally would rather stay to the "truest" form of it.

Well, here is a little backstory:

Vexorian's jasshelper received a lot of criticism because the order of initialization. In order for things to work properly initialization-wise, we had to use module initializers.

Cohadar's jasshelper changed that order a bit (however, there are already a lot of resources already ordered in compliance to vex's jasshelper, which can be a problem). Cohadar also introduced for and while loops. However, the biggest difference was the speed difference and the advanced progress reporting (a better progress bar, and printing the steps). It has a lot more organization as well (source-code). However, it has some issues (eh, I forgot what exactly. Nes' knows the issues). Something about it breaking when you do some obscure code. Cohadar went inactive, so it didn't get enough support.

Anyway, I still use cohadar's jasshelper occasionally. The save times are quite nice. It is very easy to change between them in JNGP 1.5e and 2.0.X+ and above.

Basically, for most resources, it will be better to use Vex's just coz most people might not be using Cohadar's... but personally I use Cohadar's for personal matters due to the new loops, and because it's much much faster for me than Vex's...

I use cohadars. Not that it matters much for me when I use vjass so rarely. But Nes recmonended it in his vjass video tutorial so I just went with that.
