Awesome work.
I really sympathize with his "Why did they use Javascript instead of Lua" point. Of course I mostly do embedded programming so this might be my biases talking but every time I find myself using Javascript I keep wishing it was more like Lua.
- RobertKerans 12y agoWhy Lua? I was just reading through the Red Blob Games articles, and on the subject of scripting languages, he says something to the effect of 'if you have to use a general purpose scripting language, just go for Lua', written as if this is kind of self-evident. What is it about Lua that makes it attractive?
- Alphasite_ 12y agoIsd assume it's because luajit is very lightweight when compared to javascript systems, which tend to be very memory hungry.
- renox 12y agoPerformance, it's one of the fastest scripting languages.
