   Well, it is true that the Lua ecosystem is small, but I've been following it for years and it has been in a steady growth. Yea, it does depend on which problem you're trying to solve. I'm using it on Machine Learning now and

   Lua is my favorite interpreted programming language and I've actively joined the community since 2014. I studied in the university where it was created and I decided to learn it just for the moral support because why not and felt in lo

   I love Lua and I just mentioned it on the "old" thread, however! It's almost 24 years old :')

   I'll be using lots of Lua while I learn Machine Learning this year! Super exciting!

   I use Lua standalone and I gotta say I love it :)

   This is another Lua VM worth taking a look: http://starlight.paulcuth.me.uk/ I use both of them with Sailor, but I tend to prefer starlight recently

    I use my own framework. It's MVC and it works on the top of nginx(openresty), apache(mod_lua) and xavante (a pure Lua web server). It's called Sailor http://sailorproject.org I also wrote a blog post with a comparison

    that's true, but I do think it's interesting that someone thought about it, decided to post it here and there are people discussing. I've been seeing Lua regularly on hackernews recently and that's awesome!

    My favorite utopia is Lua becoming mainstream and killing JS. But I agree with you that one of the reasons Lua is so nice is exactly because that didn't happen, so it's a tough choice. This is precisely the reason why many members

    It's a good thing for Lua but not a good thing for the web and these things are partially mutually exclusive. One of the reasons Lua's evolution is better than JS is because managing versions when you have to keep browser compatib

    No, it's not. It was "adopted" by cloudflare, and although Mike Pall is a special person, there are other people who are contributors.

    Weird... Sasada's presentation mentions a JIT, which is why I was confused. ( http://www.atdot.net/yarv/rc2006_sasada_yarv_on_rails.pdf page 15)

    Doesn't that also use a JIT? Why are you comparing benchmarks versus PUC Lua instead of versus LuaJIT??

    I love LuaJIT, but what it needs right now is some sort of Lua5.3 compatibility. Despite being an excellent piece of tech I think this current state causes some damage to the Lua community because often developers will write code in a Lua5.

    OMG THANK YOU FOR THIS LINK I also worked on a JS2Lua transpiler, which is called exactly the same btw, for a university assignment ( https://github.com/Etiene/js2lua ) , but it's trash and I never really finished i

    I would love to go through the internals of LuaJIT, learn all the necessary things and take over it. This is like my favorite project on earth. Unfortunately I just graduated and don't have the necessary background yet. Since I live in

    Actually it will be possible once Web Assembly is out! I heard they have already tested the Lua interpreter on it! (I need some confirmation of this though! ) I'm reaaaaally excited for that!

    I've known this for over a decade... My piano teacher instructed me to do that. To learn any piece by heart, never start at the same measure, play voices separately, combine different voices, sing together with it, play it backwards (m

    I think Lua is great exactly because it knows when to break compatibility to make a language improvement and such decisions are extensively discussed.

    I use Lua as a general use language and I'm incredibly satisfied. It's an amazing language. I also need to mention that Lua is the easiest language I've ever encountered, so any competent developer can learn it quickly, it&#x

    Lua used to be LUA, you'll find LUA written in old source code comments :) Don't be so mad about the Lua Uppercase Accident :)

    I also suggest looking openresty based frameworks, it is non blocking I/O, but you can write procedural code normally and Nginx will handle events internally. That means no callback hell There's Lapis, by leafo http:/&#x2F
