This is my problem as well. I just installed 5.3 on my system but it looks like nobody really supports 5.3. There really is no clear guidance on what to do - do

This is my problem as well. I just installed 5.3 on my system but it looks like nobody really supports 5.3. There really is no clear guidance on what to do - do I just not use the latest version of the language?
- spc476 9y agoIf you really need to use LuaJIT, then you best stick with Lua 5.1. Otherwise, use Lua 5.3---it supports 64-bit integers (unlike Lua 5.1/5.2, which only use floating point) and if you are doing any parsing of binary data, string.pack() and string.unpack() are worth using (Lua 5.3). Yes, there are issues with some Lua modules not supporting Lua 5.3, but the major modules support it, and LuaRocks makes installing modules rather easy.
- OhSoHumble 9y agoWell, in the context of this thread, MoonScript, Lapis, and OpenResty don't support 5.3.
