Newbie here - what is the lua equivalent of pythons pip?
Easy to install on unix-like, but I've found it less simple on Windows. Using hererocks makes it much easier.

what does the luarocks variable LUA_INCDIR get used for?
LUA_INCDIR is not listed on either https://github.com/luarocks/luarocks/wiki/Installation-instructions-for-Unix or https://github.com/luarocks/luarocks/wiki/Installation-instructions-for-Unix but luarocks complains that it's not set. What does it do?

This is how I use luarocks in my awesomewm
The luarocks.loader module is provided by Luarocks and basically replace the standard require function by a version that handles Rocks installed with Luarocks (https://github.com/luarocks/luarocks/wiki/Using-LuaRocks#multiple-versions-using-the-luarocks-package-loader and https://github.com/luarocks/luarocks/blob/master/src/luarocks/loader.lua). Note that this is safer than your implementation since it "knows" the running Lua version and the corresponding Luarocks installed files. So it will automatically load modules at the correct version / path (without additional set_path and hard coded string).

Seeking feedback on command line syntax highlighter
I would reccomend you use luarocks for the project. It’s the “standard” package manager for lua, and supports building the C parts (using autotools). It also manages the dependencies for you!

I'm trying to run `luarocks install lpeglabel` and I keep getting "fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'stdarg.h': No such file or directory"
what luarocks version are you running? If it is the one from luaForWindows, then I recommend upgrading it (https://github.com/luarocks/luarocks/wiki/Download). Solved my include problems but requires a bit of configration
