It looks neat, but unfortunately it's currently only for Windows, and only 32-bit Windows to boot... Maybe open-sourcing will help them to add support for more

Yup, from a cursory glance at it, it looks like it's been written using WxWidgets, so it should be (more or less) easy to port to other platforms. Even though I'm not an active Lua programmer by any extent, I hope the community does a good job of porting it.

      Not the end of the world. Cross platform (and "architecture") hooking libraries exist for this very reason[1]. It's not a hard issue, and symbol lookup for callstacks is not an issue either[2]. I wouldn't say it's trivial but it's certainly not novel.

It took me about 5 minutes to install via wine. Looks like no issues but I haven't played with it much. Getting native linux support would be nice, and I think open-sourcing it has the potential to allow this. Mostly comes down to how the project is run, and if any linux devs get involved. Until that time, wine seems to work!
