I've used a lot of different embedded scripting languages with C and C++ and Lua is by far the most efficient and easiest to integrate one. Especially the 5.1 version is excellent and I still use it today. In what notable project have you used Lua?

But apparently confident enough to make negative comments about the technology.
- giraffe_lady 4y agoYeah pretty much, sorry. I do this for money and generally more or less enjoy it as far as that goes. But I've always had a miserable time working in lua, more than any other language I've touched professionally. I might be wrong about the technical reasons why, and I'm genuinely sorry if I've unfairly maligned your baby here. But it has always been unpleasant for me and I think I'm entitled to my confidence about my own experiences in it.
- Rochus 4y agoIt's not my "baby", just one of many programming languages I'm using or design myself; but is't a great example for how good you can get with a minimal language design. Personally I prefer strictly/statically typed languages.
