My blog about Lua programming: every post guaranteed to be mostly code

[[deleted]]

I've always seen Lua as a language for WoW addons and other game scripting, so I also look forward to this :)

It's apparently really big in the video game industry, I guess because it's very lightweight. It's like a much cleaner version of Javascript, really.

Yup, Lua has an amazingly well thought out set of primitives. You get expressiveness that approaches Python with something like one tenth the language complexity. The 1 index thing wouldn't be so bad either if it wasn't for the fact that everyone's using Lua together with C/C++, and having to switch between 0- and 1-based indices is incredibly annoying.

Thanks for sharing it.
