Lua's Lack of “Batteries”
This is really timely article for me. I just chose to use Lua in a brand new project (https://github.com/Hyperspace-Logistics/heart) and lot of the criticism so far has been “why Lua?”
Personally I think it’s very capable language. It’s such a comfortable scripting language that I think nearly anybody could pick up and get up to speed pretty quickly. LuaJIT is also ridiculously powerful and so satisfyingly stable (Lua 5.1 for over a decade).
Heck Lua 5.1 even makes an excellent transpile target so you might not even need to use Lua to appreciate the software that runs on Lua.

Losing my mind with formatting
I've used inspect.lua to inspect the client table and I can see valid-looking formatCommand settings (using the exact efm folder that u/lukas-reineke uses)

Lua's Lack of “Batteries”
For more complex string matching tasks that the built-in patterns cannot handle, LPeg is a good choice. It's more powerful than regexes while also being easy to use. I also wouldn't expect something like PCRE to ever be included in the Lua standard library. PCRE by itself would already be larger than the rest of the Lua interpreter + standard library.
By the way, for formatting Lua tables I like using inspect[1]. (It's not part of the standard library but oh well, that's the whole topic of today's discussion).
