Lua, a Misunderstood Language

Re:Lua, a Misunderstood Language by d--b on Friday January 15, 2021 @05:15PM (#25797260)

As a dev who’s only tried Lua for a small dev project, I have to agree with the no-batteries argument. It is so bare that i ended up implementing tons of function that i wished were there in the first place.

Not asking for lua to become the new javascript but a library like “lodash for lua” would be appreciated...

There's https://github.com/danielmgmi/lodash.lua :-)

And also https://luafun.github.io, which probably has overlapping functionality and is optimized with regards to LuaJIT.
