Lua? You’re kidding right?
Lua is so full of gotchas that using it is an exercise in frustration. Tack on LuaJIT, and you’ve got yourself a twelve gauge footgun.
Lua is JavaScript-level stupid, minus the useful ecosystem.
- ok_dad 4y agoI like Lua but it’s not my religion or anything. Your use of a throwaway for this signals I probably shouldn’t even engage with you, but why do you hate it so much? I’ve found it to be concise, yet powerful.
- coldtea 4y agoProbably forced to use it for some job plus learning aversion?
- coldtea 4y ago>Lua? You’re kidding right? Lua is so full of gotchas that using it is an exercise in frustration. Which is irrelevant, as the author mentioned a specific feature of Lua that's designed better than Python's same feature, didn't say everything is better in Lua. (Not to mention it's not really true anyway, Lua is fine).
