Features in PUC-Rio Lua after Lua 5.2 or so are mostly all terrible, with the possible exception of <toclose> (a bad version of golang's defer). So I respect the choice not to add those features. There was still lots of work to do to improve the GC and such though.
- doomrobo 7y agoWhat about integers and bitops in 5.3? That seems like a big deal
- s_y_n_t_a_x 7y agoBitops are in LuaJit
- lifthrasiir 7y agoLua 5.3 integers are 64 bits long by default, and that makes a real difference.
- DarkWiiPlayer 7y agoThat's trivial to implement as a C function though, so no real need to add it as a language feature
