With a script that some ffmpeg-ing to convert to webm and add sped up bass boosted music this could be the Industrial Revolution of Hyperborea edits. This power must be kept out of the Sharty's hands at all costs. Imagine what they could do with this and some esoteric books from Libgen
Unless it becomes the rust of genz I doubt it will get anywhere.
You say that but I was surprised to hear that actual game studios are embedding it in their engines. They're even putting it in fucking SECOND LIFE.
and of fucking course it's all in lowercase. i fucking hate this gayass tumblr shit
I thought you were joking, but it seems to actually be real as seen here https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Lua_Alpha as if secondlife couldn't get more complicated.
I recall someone calling it "trannycase" once, real prophetic insight there.
Man, Lua is such a nice language. I shall sacrifice 20000 poojeets to Perun if means warding off the rusty trannies' touch.
Games using LUA for modding scripts isn't anything new, I am quite fond of it from having worked on Stalker script modding actually, how different is Roblox's LUA to normal LUA even?
Not 100% sure but IIRC the main inclusion is optional typing. The rest is LuaJIT-style under the hood tech.
No FFI yet but it's gonna be so fucking cool when it drops.
Forths and Lisps beg to differ. Scheme R7RS is both more standardized, and also more compact. Lua is not objectively superior unless you heavily restrict along some other dimension. The Cult of Lua has always been weird to me. Always came across more as the Cult of Poor Programming Knowledge.
Scheme does not standardize the most important part of a VM-based language: a (C) API for interfacing with native code.
You don't really need to do too much bitwise shit on a state machine or passing arguments to like 5 or so API functions. But I agree 64 bit floats for everything is the most goyim-coded shit ever. You'll just keep getting buttfucked over precision loss.
Yeah. That's why it won. Scheme is objectively more based but Lua just werks.
If this is your scope, writing a Forth to handle this is an afternoon's work these days, and then you're done with zero dependencies.
They also did a php project to turn academic papers into zines to make them more accessible to normies and also just to share amongst people. Re-creating the old chapbook or pamphlet tradition people used to have.
Better sandboxed, with niceties like +=.
JavaScript also does this. It's a clever trick; in a double, all integers can be represented up to about 52 bits. If you consider all integers in Lua or Javascript as 32 bit integers, you will be fine. Most integers in a real world program are small anyways.
What about it? They just work.
