      Gmod is the first thing I think of when I hear Lua.

    To me, Lua will always be the WoW plugin language.

    Lua is a super underrated language. The standard implementation is under 500kb and it can run almost anywhere. Including inside other programs and on embedded systems that dont even have an OS.

          This was the method people used to get Balatro running on mobile before. Extract the Lua code and then package it using LÖVE for Android/iOS

      I was sick and tired of not having full remote storage access after losing logistics pipes, we had refined storage and a computercraft peripheral mod for it so I wrote a server and client for remotely requesting items to be delivered via ender chest using the computer craft ipads and the computercraft internet. You’d type in a search query and it would display the top 10 items in the network containing that query and how many there were, then you’d pick the one you wanted from that list by entering its index, then you’d enter the quantity

    World of Warcraft plugins and Awesome WM configs. There are some decent 2d game engines that use Lua too, like Love2d!

    Lua is great

    People hate on it because they are too psychorigid to switch to lists starting from 1

    The one time I used lua was to make a casino in Minecraft with the ComputerCraft mod like, over a decade ago. I enjoyed it. Even as a young lad I didn’t like index from 1, though
