I checked out duktape a while ago and found the documentation quite impressive. Although it didn't seem to have too many examples regarding how to embed into a typical app (with class hierarchy, etc).
Also like a lot of these other "lua alternatives", it's interesting to note development seems to be driven mostly by one guy... which if you want to use it in a project brings up the question: "What if they get hit by a bus?".
- creationix 12y agoA lot of these one-man projects aren't because nobody else in the world can work on them. It's usually because everyone else is busy working on something else. If I ended up having to maintain duktape I'm confident I could understand and improve the code with a little rampup time. This isn't rocket science. The hardest problem is finding time and funding. If a company depends on the project they have incentive to provide those things.
- stevekemp 12y agoThe documentation was indeed very very well-written. I suspect if you're familiar with Lua then you'll be almost immediately at home, although people new to both might struggle with the idea of stack-offsets/indexes.
