I use Luau with my Unity game for all gameplay code (60k+ loc so far). I agree the docs could be improved, especially for custom integrations. The new type system + LSP aren't great together yet either, and I've been a little worried about the direction since zeux left the team.

But otherwise I really like it. My Luau code hot reloads almost instantly while the game is running, and my C++ project compiles quickly when I update it. I like that it provides sandboxing if you want to support modding. And there's an active community of people on the official Discord, which is better than nothing.

Fast hot reload is not Luau specific though. Lua and LuaJIT reloads fast too, so does JS and most other scripting platforms. In fact, I have subsecond C++ hot-reloads.

Do you have a link for the official Luau Discord? I can't see anything on their webpage or github and google is not helpful either.

		I mentioned fast hot reload because your original comment complained about compilation speed, and some people might not know you were referring to the speed of compiling your custom Luau integration in C++ (which is also fast for me, personally). Sounds like the Discord I mentioned is technically the Roblox discord. The #luau-lang and #luau-lsp channels are where I lurk.

		There's not an official Discord for Luau today (though it's something I've been considering setting up), but there is a Roblox open source community discord that the whole team is active in as part of our work on Luau.

Thanks for name-dropping zeux. Didn't know about him.
