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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.
