Dear Reapers,

once again I'm happily thinking about tackling Reaper scripting, but there is a veeery basic question recurring to me around which I fail to wrap my mind.

Reaper offers me to write my scripts in either EEL, Lua or Python. The documentation also lists C/C++ as an available language.

As a C++ programmer I am very much thinking with the object oriented paradigm in the back of my head. What is ReaScript's "paradigm"?
Lua is per se not object oriented (but you can "fake" classes), Python is, I don't know about EEL... C/C++? What... is it now C or C++? Procedural or object oriented?

In what frame of mind should I conceptualize my scripts?

Secondly, the compiled C/C++ Reaper API dll that is mentioned in the API documentation... Is it for use in external programs?


I'd be glad if someone could shed some light on this and a short explanation of Reaper's/ReaScript's paradigms would be most helpful!

Thanks,
LuCsa
