Is there a way to try out embedded Lua within the Arduino dev environment? Yeah I know, friends don't let friends, but I'm still curious.

- 7thaccount 1y agoActually I haven't heard this. Does Arduino have a bunch of controversy now?
- analog31 1y agoIt evokes the "real engineers don't use it" reaction, similar to any tool that's perceived as being of primary interest to hobbyists and students. Some concerns are valid: Arduino doesn't have as much flexibility for digging really deep into things like pin and memory assignments and what happens when a microcontroller starts up. Also, the quality and documentation of Arduino support can vary from one MCU family to another. There's a concern about the quality of libraries and code. It doesn't support hardware debugging. Granted, the embedded community has good reasons for being conservative, especially for critical applications.
