The industry standard in Lua is to have multiple Lua states doing stuff. A different approach, but it is there

> 5. I wonder which implementation of Lua they used. Lua can be pretty fast, one of the fastest dynamic languages out there. Apparently 5.3, but I am very skeptical of these results. Also the way the data is organised is very weird. One

Lapis afaik also uses LuaJIT by default because it's built for openresty which does use LuaJIT

Why remove Lua, though? I'm a heavy Lua user, which is why I use the openresty bundle of nginx. There's no reason for me to try this out. This is unfortunate!

It does accept them. Being an active member on the mailing list, I've seen it happen multiple times. The process is a bit different though, since they try to keep the language as small as possible.

> Even so, I understand LuaJIT had to drop some Lua features to get there. Not true. LuaJIT is complete Lua. The difference, besides being jitted are: having parts written in assembly, super optimisations and things like FFI which cannot

I actually thought the document was reasonably well written, using language that was not confrontational or aggressive, and providing some sources. So, from a superficial view, it looks well-thought, scientific and non-malicious. This is wh

In my case, I'm a Latin American not willing to live in the USA or in my home country, and my visa in Europe is tied to having a job. Hope this helps you getting different viewpoints :)

This makes me want to poke my eyes out. I like python, I've used it before and would use it again, but please stop using tools that are not made for a certain job just because they're popular for other jobs. There are languages es

3) Sounds like a very lazy excuse. Many languages used to be 1-indexed and many still are.

I'm a huge Lua fan and I got excited for a moment thinking it had any connection to it, then I was disappointed that it didn't, even if Luna does seem like a great piece of tech! Here goes some suggestions: https://en.w

I second this, I love using Lua tables as a data description language.

Sailor author here. They probably mean on the front-end! :) For that we have Starlight ( http://starlight.paulcuth.me.uk ), which I use on Sailor as well. Very excited for the day we can run Lua natively on the browser!

Worth mentioning: https://github.com/elua Allows to run Lua on bare metal, no OS involved. It's what the nodemcu firmware for the ESP cards is based on.

Lua is the easiest language to learn I ever saw. It has a fantastic json support with the cjson library ( https://luarocks.org/modules/luarocks/lua-cjson ). It's there by default on many firmwares. Do check the

I want to reiterate this. I started learning it for guilt because it was created in the university I studied. Then I realised it was really a pleasure to use it. I still use it in many hobby projects nowadays whenever I can.

I like Lua more than I like Python and all of this makes me sad. I wished more people were putting their hearts into getting the Lua's ecosystem going instead of into things like this.

There are some JS to Lua transpilers around, but I'm not sure how robust they are. I want to try some of them later to try to convert some handy JS libraries and feed them into LuaRocks.
