It's been a little while since I commented about wanting to learn Lua. I lovit ha, see what I did... Anyway I'l start with what I dislike.
~= is not !=
Braces are not a thing, I write in braced languages and I find this a little jarring.
require is not node js require
What I love, Lua is tiny, fast and I can change it as I like. I'm currently hijacking V8 to launch the majority of my node js web app in Lua. That includes using the c binding directly from node with node require and a js proxy.
Awesome! Yeah, I agree with the ~= thing. That throws me off all the time especially since my main languages (Ruby & Crystal) use =~ for regex matching lol. But I don't work in curly brace languages, so for me I love that it doesn't have those :D
Sounds like you found a great use for using Lua! Thanks for sharing.
