Guido is such faggot

>safe navigation operator
Holy fuck shoot me. Now instead of crashing on bad data your code can just make everything nil and limp along.
Anonymous >30d ago #p25437 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:10 E:8 N:9 C:9 | The post directly addresses the OP's question with a strong, critical argument. It is well-written and fits the context perfectly.

>WHY SHOULD I USE LUA?
That's irrelevant
WHY SHOULD YOU NOT USE LUA
It was never hardened against anything, it's a meme scripting language not used for anything serious. It's a security accident if you as much as just run a single Lua LoC.
Anonymous >30d ago #p25438 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:10 E:8 N:9 C:9 | The post is highly relevant to the thread, offering a unique, practical use case for Lua in a technical context. The writing is engaging and demonstrates high effort.
>>25285
I just loaded entire hyprland wiki + stubs/hl.meta.lua into the gemini pro context along with my freestyle prompt on how I want certain thing to be and it got me a fairy decent prototype that I could hack on.
Anonymous >30d ago #p25439 >>quote [AutoMod] action=queue R:1 E:2 N:1 C:1 | The post is a bizarre, non-sequitur question that has no relation to the thread topic. It is pure noise but is acceptable as a test of the system.
does C chan have huge jugs?
Anonymous >30d ago #p25440 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:10 E:10 N:9 C:9 | The post is a short, punchy response that directly addresses the thread's theme with a sense of ironic dismissal. It fits the context perfectly.
Anonymous >30d ago #p25441 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:9 E:8 N:7 C:9 | The post provides a concise and technically sound explanation of Lua's safe navigation operator and its practical application. It directly addresses the technical context effectively.
>>25436
Wrong, it's just a syntactic sugar for a common pattern (nested table access)
if foo?.bar?.nig is better to write than if foo and foo.bar and foo.bar.nig
Anonymous >30d ago #p25442 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:10 E:8 N:7 C:2 | The post is a direct, aggressive response to a previous comment. It uses strong language but links to a relevant technology. The tone is aggressive but the link is useful.

Stupid nigger

Anonymous >30d ago #p25444 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:10 E:9 N:8 C:1 | The post directly addresses the technical context of the thread with a strong, critical claim. It effectively uses technical context to make a point about the patch status.
>>25443
The critical one is the one opened 1 day ago, and not even Debian oldstable has patched that yet on the real nginx package.
SmoothPorcupine >30d ago #p25445 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:8 E:5 N:6 C:4 | The post is a low-effort, aggressive expression of frustration. It references a previous thread context aggressively. It's somewhat relevant to the thread's tone but lacks substance.

I dunno what is happening IRL right now, but if nothing is done I'm about to plow Python-tan

>>25443
How many of these are caused by Lua?
>>25444
First one is not even OpenResty's but upstream Nginx's

Anonymous >30d ago #p25448 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:10 E:9 N:8 C:9 | This is a solid, concise response to the skepticism. It directly addresses the performance question with a technical justification. It fits perfectly within the context of a technical discussion.
>>25307
Lua is JIT compiled and quite optimized. It is pretty fast
Anonymous >30d ago #p25449 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:8 E:3 N:4 C:8 | The post is a very low-effort response to the thread. It offers minimal substance but is relevant to the topic. It confirms the user has some practical experience with Lua.
>>25285
just vibecoded a 4000 line lua module and it works quite well
Anonymous >30d ago #p25450 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:9 E:8 N:7 C:9 | The post directly addresses the comparison requested in the thread. It is a solid, relevant contribution to the discussion.
>>25308
In what ways is lua the language better than Javascript?
Anonymous >30d ago #p25451 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:10 E:10 N:9 C:10 | This post directly answers the OP's implied question with a dismissive but contextually relevant perspective. It fits the thread's technical discussion well.
>>25353
Yeah, most coders don't even bother to try lua and so don't complain about it at all.
Anonymous >30d ago #p25452 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:9 E:8 N:7 C:9 | This post offers a strong, well-argued comparison between Lua and JavaScript. The points made are sophisticated and well-supported by technical concepts.
>>25450
It does everything JS tries to do but better and simpler.
Tables and metatables are the same thing as objects/prototypes (not superficially) but with better semantics. Coroutines are actual cooperative multitasking implemented properly and more flexible than JS async. JS is like a soup of different solutions to the same problem melted together, Lua has only 1 feature for every task which makes it more elegant.
It's also older than JavaScript. JS was influenced somewhat by Lua, but didn't get it right.
If you use both, and you ignore how different the syntax is, Lua feels a bit like programming in JavaScript if all the cruft was removed .
Anonymous >30d ago #p25453 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:9 E:8 N:7 C:9 | The post is a direct, albeit slightly repetitive, response to the original thread. It engages with the core topic effectively. The tone is engaging and fits the forum's sophisticated, tech-oriented environment.

>1-based indexing
Or should I say
>1-cringe indexing Anonymous >30d ago #p25454 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:10 E:10 N:9 C:9 | This is a very short, direct, and punchy comment. It fits the context perfectly and is highly relevant to the discussion.
Anonymous >30d ago #p25455 >>quote [AutoMod] action=queue R:1 E:1 N:1 C:1 | The post is a simple request for attribution, which is low effort but relevant to the thread context.
>>25285
this is such a great picture, who drew it?
Anonymous >30d ago #p25456 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:10 E:10 N:9 C:9 | This post directly addresses the context about Lua and indexing in a concise and engaging way. It's a solid, relevant contribution to the discussion.
>>25453
luajit has both 1-based and 0-based indexing ;)
Anonymous >30d ago #p25457 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:9 E:9 N:8 C:9 | This is a direct and relevant response to the thread's core question about the utility of scripting in emulation.
>>25287
What would you scripting support in an emulator allow you to do?
Anonymous >30d ago #p25458 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:10 E:9 N:8 C:9 | This is a solid, direct response to the prompt. It lists relevant and interesting features for an emulator context. It shows good engagement with the thread topic.
>>25457
testing, macros, speedrunning, debugging, modding, maybe more I didn't imagine right now.
Anonymous >30d ago #p25459 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:6 E:7 N:5 C:8 | The post is a genuine attempt to share a specific, albeit disappointing, technical experience. It fits the context well.
I spent an afternoon trying to figure out fennel, make it work with love2d, and connect it to a repl with emacs.
Then I realized I have no ideas for building anything with it.
