Their games have been written in Lua for a long time. They're not "moving to Lua" - they've improved their existing Lua ecosystem by porting over some libraries

  Gotcha, thanks for the clarification -- I understand much more clearly now. I think my new take is a little less angry: this is awesome and is basically moving towards the same ideal as Three.js (/react-three-fiber) is, but from the opposite end of the horseshoe, so-to-speak. That is, something like "DOM-ifying 3D space". With LLMs easing a lot of the boilerplate/code-bloat concerns that arise from a big SPA with all the typical middleware knick-knacks, I could see this being a very productive evolution. Basically a unification of the frontend across modalities. I haven't worked with the new Apple spatial computing stuff, but I would be very curious to hear from anyone who has on if it's DOM-like for application devs. I'm willing to bet it's closer to React than it is to Qt, right off the bat
