Wow that’s a fascinating codebase you’ve got. I mainly used Lua for scripting C/C++ codebases, never saw a large app that does the reverse. Seems to be very clear code in the functional style without too much object-orientation, did you specifically choose to not use that too much?

Lua doesn’t fit too well with the object oriented model (although possible) without being “hacky”, so we decided to leverage the strengths of the language rather than forcing ourselves to use a model that’s not well suited for the language.
