How do you debug it? I tried a little bit and kept running into issues due to the dynamic typing.

  I've found different ways .. if its a simple Lua situation, where you just want to debug pure Lua code, Zerobraine Studio is a pretty good environment to do it and comes with a debugger. I've tried various other Lua debuggers over the years, these are useful: https://github.com/slembcke/debugger.lua https://github.com/slembcke/debugger.lua https://slembcke.github.io/DebuggerLua https://slembcke.github.io/DebuggerLua You can also use the debug module: https://www.tutorialspoint.com/lua/lua_debugging.htm https://www.tutorialspoint.com/lua/lua_debugging.htm Otherwise, I just use gdb if needed (JIT/FFI stuff) and printf's. However, I don't really need to debug much these days - more just testing. Its also kind of important to have automated tests and run them frequently with every major change. Another thing I use frequently in my Lua projects, which I think cuts down a lot of the common bugs that might require debugging, is the lua_enumerable.lua utility module: https://github.com/mikelovesrobots/lua-enumerable/ https://github.com/mikelovesrobots/lua-enumerable/
