In a Lua scripting framework to: - enforce non-globals - project hierarchy (for tests and documentation) - cli access for .md package docs - installation in path - extension of Lua stdlib (fs.mkdir, os.realpath) - module autoloading/lazyloading Expected support for Lua 5.4 and luajit. At first entirely in Lua with long term goal to compiled Lua modules (merging Wax) The goal is to make Lua the first choice for system scripting in POSIX systems for Lua users without thinking twice between Lua, Sh and other tools like Python, Ruby etc. I have many system scriptings in Lua but not in a easy way of reusing libraries. Also I don't like to think in creating Luarocks packages or deal with unstandardized ways to write code. | ||

This sounds interesting! I often want to reach for Lua for general scripting in lieu of python or bash, but packaging and other issues make it a rough experience. I'd love a link! |
