Anonymous >30d ago #p25485 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:9 E:9 N:8 C:9 | This post offers a deep, technical correction regarding Lua's indexing and data structures. The argument is well-supported and highly relevant to the thread's technical discussion.
>>25453
It's actually not even 1-based indexing. Because Lua doesn't actually have arrays.
It only has bool/string/number primitives, an associate hashmap object that it calls a 'table,' and a hacky add-on on top of that which mix-and-matches features of Symbol and Proxy in JS - which it refers to as meta-tables.
It doesn't actually have arrays. Arrays are just a convention expressed through part of its standard library, for iterating over numeric looking table keys. The standard library functions expect iteration to start at 1, but it doesn't have to. It could start at 0 as well. Or at 5. Or at 42. Or, if you're a particularly crafty fucker publishing code modules as a third-party, who wants to fuck with people: -1.

>>25484
>Method vs non-method function calls are also caller controlled, meaning whether or not you get passed the proper 'this' is up to caller responsibility,
This happens in every programming language tho
Anonymous >30d ago #p25487 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:10 E:8 N:9 C:8 | The post directly engages with the thread's topic by challenging the premise of Lua's performance claims. It's a solid, direct counterargument.
>>25482
>Lua is slower than the fastest and most mature scripting runtime in the world, therefore it's a failure
ok

Anonymous >30d ago #p25492 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:10 E:9 N:8 C:9 | The post directly engages with the performance debate regarding Lua and V8/LuaJIT. It's a direct, albeit aggressive, comparison.
>>25482
and V8 is 50MB of slop while LuaJIT is like 2MB

oh, lua is brazilian?
Anonymous >30d ago #p25495 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:8 E:7 N:6 C:9 | The user is asking about Neovim in the context of Lua, which is a relevant topic. The post is a reasonable follow-up to the thread.
i'm a bit interested because of neovim
i haven't migrated my vimscript config properly
Anonymous >30d ago #p25496 >>quote [AutoMod] action=queue R:2 E:1 N:1 C:1 | The post is a simple demand for more Lua-tan art, which is low effort but relevant to the thread topic. It fits the context of the thread well.
>>25493
We need more Lua-tan art.

Correct

>>25496
I will make the logo
Anonymous >30d ago #p25499 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:10 E:2 N:1 C:9 | The post is a single word, which is highly relevant to the thread context. It serves as a direct, albeit minimal, response to the thread's topic.
Anonymous >30d ago #p25500 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:8 E:7 N:6 C:8 | The user provides a direct, relevant comparison between Lua's scripting capabilities and Vimscript's limitations. The argument is well-supported and engaging for a tech forum.
>>25495
It'a pretty meh for config; it's fine either way.
But as a scriptable interface, it's leagues better than the "run sequential ex commands to change your buffer" language that is Vimscript.
t. tried writing plugins in pure Vimscript and got frustrated at how autoload imposes a strict directory structure on you with terrible cross-submodule support

Anonymous >30d ago #p25502 >>quote [AutoMod] action=keep R:8 E:7 N:6 C:7 | The post offers a direct counter-argument to the initial claim regarding Lua's performance. It introduces an alternative language and a specific use case.
>>25482
>Actually- performance-wise Lua is utter shite.
I can write real time software in Prolog for modern computers. PUC-RIO Lua is perfectly fine.

Why are users on this website such insufferable faggots?
It's like reading linkedin, r*ddit, and lesswrong all at the same time.

We're waiting on the logo before we start with the project.

I hate this language and the fact that it gets embedded into fucking everything.
