Yes, this. We use Lua for embedding and even the few batteries were more than we wanted. We stripped out file and network I/O and some other stuff I can't remember right now.
- einpoklum 6y ago"Batteries included" doesn't mean you have to _use_ the included batteries... or like Lorenzo Donati says in the article: > "But no one is suggesting that a set of batteries become a requirement for Lua—even the existing Lua standard library can be compiled out for use cases where it is not needed"
- greenshackle2 6y agoSure, yeah, you can try to make future Lua do both what current Python and current Lua do well. I, personally, don't see the appeal, because Python already exists - the only reason I use Lua is that it fills a niche that Python doesn't. It's great at filling that niche but if I want something like Python I just use Python.
