[noob here] What are the advantages of Lua?
- Luajit +FFI is the fastest, cleanest way to integrate C libs into a script. Its insane how nice it is - should be illegal :). - Lua meta tables/methods are the most under stated capability of Lua. These mechanisms allow Lua to really work like a large scale HLL. Heck you can event make a language in it! Want Lua to look like C/JS? https://github.com/mingodad/ljs There are many like this. :) - Luajit fixed at 5.2 API means its _not_ _going_ _to_ _break_ when you bring in libraries. One of my biggest pet peeves are people that think languages should always change - I think you need to read Linus's thoughts on moving ABI's any why its dumb. - If you dont like the lang, embed Lua into another lang, and then just use it for "parts" you need it for. Most of the game and sim systems I built, used this method (some with SWIG).

Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?
I created Lua with C/C++/Java/Javascript syntax https://github.com/mingodad/ljs
Also forked a scripting language https://github.com/mingodad/squilu and extended it to accept a pseudo C++/Java/CSharp/Typescript syntax to make easy to reuse code and have fast iteration when creating new functions (with it and minor changes I could get https://ssw.jku.at/Research/Projects/Coco/ parser to work for easy grammar development).
Create a tool for create, document and prototype database applications at "user level" in near realtime (live) https://github.com/mingodad/db-api-server.
Extended GLPK to accept a bigger subset of AMPL and made some performance improvements in the GMPL interpreter https://github.com/mingodad/GLPK

Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?
I built https://snipp.in because I was top frustrated about the loading times of notion. I am a developer and I take notes quite often, most of us spend a lot of time on an IDE and when we need format a quick json or copy a tiny snippet we often find ourselves in opening another instance of an editor with a txt file or random website to formate json. Snipp.in is a tiny jn browser editor, note taking app and a snippet manager all in one which looks like an Editor but really fast without any bs of signin/signups or cloud. It just stores everything in your browser using IndexedDB. It's also open-sourced at https://github.com/haxzie/snipp.in
