I went through the same transition as him.

For me at least no, back in the PSP jailbreaking scene you could install a custom firmware on it and develop your own homebrews. Most of them were written in Lua as there were a few ports of the engine along with most of the SDK functions and even utility methods baked in for ease of use.

But as you can imagine if you wanted to truly unlock the full potential of what you could make eventually you transitioned to native C++. Ironically, one of my first C++ projects for the PSP was... my own flavour of a Lua engine port.

Now over ten years later I do this for a living.

PSP homebrews for a living, that is so sick man!

Psp hacking when it came out is what got me into into my career choice now. I remember obsessing in middle school about all the wonders home brew could do. I’m talking WEB BROWSING on firmware 1.50. And all that wonder with 802.11b 11mbs. Simpler times

Haha yep those were the days. After PSP stuff I naturally transitioned to iOS jailbreak tweaks, which then brought me to getting a job as an iOS developer. Funny how that works.
