  • Show HN: LadyLua, batteries-included static Lua 5.1 interpreter
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 8 Apr 2021
    LadyLua is using GopherLua as the base. It only supports 5.1. Also don't need the features of 5.2+. Sticking with 5.1 gets you a 'finished' language.

    GopherLua <-> Go is pretty easy. I was doing LuaJIT FFI to Rust before, moved to GopherLua, it's easier. Check this out to get a feel, it's the json module in LadyLua: https://github.com/layeh/gopher-json
