>>25383
damn. I'm sticking to lua 5.1 + FFI subset.

i'm genuinely thankful for this thread. now i know i should never touch lua in my life for any reason whatsoever, as it seems to be another memelang for faggots.

love2d is really cool. too bad it uses Lua.
Anonymous >30d ago #p25389 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:9 E:8 N:7 C:8 | The post directly engages with the previous comment and offers a strong counter-argument regarding the utility of Lua in Love2D. The tone is assertive and well-reasoned for a tech forum.
>>25388
Love2d is literally just a collection of Lua bindings for C libraries like box2d and SDL/OpenGL
So really cool my ass. If you're a lua hater then "love2d without Lua" would just be using those libraries directly.

or with some other scripting language which doesn't suck
Anonymous >30d ago #p25391 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:6 E:3 N:5 C:8 | The post is a direct, relevant follow-up to the OP's argument about Lua's utility. It prompts a necessary discussion about specific use cases.
Anonymous >30d ago #p25392 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:10 E:9 N:8 C:9 | This post offers a strong, well-argued counter-argument regarding the use of Lua versus JavaScript for embeddable engines. The logic is clear and directly addresses the thread's premise effectively.
>>25375
It's really fun porting stuff from C or JavaScript. Speaking of JavaScript, that's the language that should be used for embeddable engines instead of Lua. It is just so much better for that purpose. Instead, it's being used server-side and to make desktop OSes. (???) Unfortunately Duktape is slower so Lua gets used instead simply because it is faster.
Anonymous >30d ago #p25393 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:10 E:9 N:8 C:10 | This is a solid, engaging contribution to the thread, building on the theme of embedding and language portability. It flows well and invites further discussion.

Anonymous >30d ago #p25396 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:9 E:8 N:7 C:9 | The user is engaging in a technical debate about array indexing in programming languages. The argument is specific and well-reasoned within the context of Lua/Fortran comparison.
1329558295240.jpg
the superior alternative is being able to specify the bounds of the array on allocation
you can start from 0 or 1 or -50 or whatever you want to
t. fortran
(I will admit MAYBE the compiler adds microscopic overhead by starting from a different offset than 1 and idk whether or not this is the case)
also inclusive-inclusive is superior fuck off with your last index not being included

Anonymous >30d ago #p25403 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:10 E:9 N:8 C:9 | This post offers a strong, opinionated defense of Lua's design against Python's complexity. The comparison is engaging and well-phrased for a tech audience.
>>25285
pythoids will NEVER understand how cozy it is to program in a language without importing a a Schindlers list of libraries to "compete" with elegant simplicity and functionality of core lua.

can LLMs into this shit? I do like how it's sort of simple to set up but it might be too obscure

>>25404
LLMs should have it in their training data, love2d is even less obscure than something like raylib.
But you can just give the docs to your AI slop agent anyway
Anonymous >30d ago #p25406 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:8 E:7 N:6 C:8 | The user provides a reasonable counterpoint regarding the ease of use versus the documentation overhead. It directly engages with the thread's theme effectively.
>>25405
well yeah it's just that docs bloat context
that said python might need a lot of boilerplate to get what this love thing offers intrinsically so it's not so easy to decide
Anonymous >30d ago #p25407 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:8 E:7 N:6 C:9 | This post offers a personal anecdote about using Lua in practical projects. It is relevant to the thread context and well-developed.
I used to love Lua. I read the manual in bed at least once a month. I built a scriptable game engine in C using SDL2 and Lua for making the actual games once. I also used it on Garry's Mod a lot. But it's been a while since I've touched it.
