Ooh, didn't know about Luanalysis, thanks for creating it! Going to check that out.

I personally found functional programming non-ergonomic in Lua considering that anonymous functions are very verbose and there is no map/filter/etc in the standard language/library unlike just about every PL these days. You need to pull stuff in for basics and everyone does it slightly differently leading to non interoperability.

Sorry, I meant shorthand assignment operators. Those are quite convenient.
