I've been programming in lua since 2015 and it's still my favorite language by far. It's very easy to understand and can also provide a challenge, which makes it so much fun. Awesome vid btw :)
Lua is nice! I use it to make plugins or write small scripts for Q-SYS. Q-SYS is QSCs control AV control platform. Each controller is a DSP and you can add behavior to the audio programming, control a display, control video switching devices, etc. I recently wrote some Lua to control a Denon network recorder via IP, an Epsom projector, Extron presentation switch, change the GUI behavior/layers/text/button behavior/css properties, etc. It's simple but really really powerful
Fire video, I've been getting more into LUA recently and it's been soooo much fun. Dabbled a little bit in coding beforehand, but it's not my main area of expertise at all. LUA might change the outlook for me and I have a feeling I might be looking for more languages besides it :) Any recommendations for languages I should prob look into, since I've been enjoying LUA so much?
I am using Python for my scripting uses. And if I need a GUI program, I will create it in python with ctypes module. Ctypes will help me to call the windows api functions and I can easily make my gui. So this is my use case. Can I move to Lua for this purpose ? Is Lua able to do the same ? EDIT: Please don't mention LuaJit.
Lua isn’t a standalone library the same way Python is, it requires an underlying program for it to run on top. That being said the underlying program can expose a C api and a GUI api. That is basically what Solar2d does, for example.
@@alevitatingtrashcan7023 yes, the Moon = Lua, in Portuguese. (from Latin Luna). If you didn´t know, now you know the reason for that white circle over the A.
After learning Perl, I feel all other scripting languages are inferior & everyone should just code in C++ or Golang, instead of bothering with scripting. Not a fan of people using scripting languages as hackish ways of doing something & that code evolving into something the language shouldn’t have been used for. (Think Python & Network Services). Also not a fan of university kids crying “bUt pOInTerS r HArd”.
Why are there so few views? The presentation is great
Thanks :)

Brazil mentioned let’s go
I'm using Lua as stand-along scripts. Of course it happens rare. but happens. Like smart version of bash-scripts.
fantastic video, thank you !
Glad you liked it :)
Defold, UltraEngine, WickedEngine, CryEngine and so on
O3DE also.
Nice video. I learnt Lua so I could make Stalker mods.

@@KodapsAcademy Yeah, I got the point. I am trying to translate the Lua C headers to my fav language C3.
Why not LuaJIT? It has the FFI which is the same things as ctypes of Python, but ok 😂😂
Lua + IUP Portable User Interface
Search engines work, you know.

conky brought me to lua
thank you man
Glad to be of service :)
Why was it created? For no reason. It just happened when Thea, a planet the size of Mars, collided with proto Earth, about 4 billion years ago
So...the moon??

Lua not LUA 🥲

I got excited about the pascal syntax, but lost interest as soon as I saw "__" and tables. It's just another half baked language with no utility.
Damnnn, you didn't say that 💀🙏
