Clearly no agenda here. Twitter backing an illegitimate US backed tin pot dictator and denying the legitmately elected government a voice. But i guess, private company and all that, doesn't matter if what they're doing aligns comp

But back in 2000 I remember there were debates on whether the new century/millenium started in 2000 or 2001.

This was back in 5.1 and I haven't really played around with 5.3 at all. I did kind of remember reading true integers were coming to lua at some point, hence why in my post I wasn't sure if it was still the case.

I like lua, it's the language that really made me start to 'get' programming. It's great for lots of things, but it does have some weirdness I find makes some tasks a little more difficult. The lack of 'batteries&#x
