ICU4Lua hasn't been touched since April 2009, and is at 0.2B. [http://luaforge.net/projects/icu-lua/ http://luaforge.net/projects/icu-lua/]
That sort of status just doesn't inspire confidence in a language. I understand you can use it for game programming, or that you can write your own libraries for it, but that sort of thing doesn't encourage adoption.
- silentbicycle 16y agoICU4Lua is a wrapper for an existing, stable library. Does (for example) the Python wrapper for sqlite get a lot of commits these days? And if not, does that make it dead and abandoned?
- indigoviolet 16y agoWhy is it in beta? Why does the mailing list [http://lists.luaforge.net/pipermail/icu-lua-users/ http://lists.luaforge.net/pipermail/icu-lua-users/] have no activity on it?
- silentbicycle 16y agoUnless something is a major standalone project, discussion usually happens on the main Lua mailing list instead. About the beta label - I don't know. gmail was in beta for a long time, too, though.
