Could someone clarify Raylib for me?
I also found this gtihub repo, this one is using luaJIT a just in time lua compiler, i dont know if you have any python expirience but this one, but from what i understand luaJIT makes lua a language that can be compiled and run in your terminal, it aperently also has a comminty made package/library manager called cherry.
