A History of Lua
> Also it is technical and not user-friendly for windows users, because luarocks (package manager) is unusable there unless you’re skilled in C build systems and are ready to fix these issues.
I've found using hererocks[1] makes setting up lua and luarocks on Windows very easy. Running it in visual studio's command prompt has let me install pure Lua and C rocks.
However, I've noticed many rocks aren't updated on luarocks and the best way to install them is to point luarocks to the rockspec file in their git repo. (Instead of `luarocks install testy` you do something like `luarocks install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/siffiejoe/lua-testy/master...` .)

[linux] Installing lua from source
Never used luaver but I can recommend hererocks. It's like pyenv but Lua. Just run ./hererocks.py --lua 5.3 --luarocks latest {location_to_install}.

A History of Lua
The first line tells luacheck that the variables `init` and `handler` are globals, and the second line tells it to ignore lines that contain just whitespace (a quirk the text editor I use uses to manage indenting levels).

In defense of blocks for local scopes
The 'do' keyword introduces a new scope (and can be used anywhere to do so). I format it as the former to be more explicit about the CONF variable being defined by the following code block.

HTTP Status 418 – I'm a teapot
I added the 418 response code to my gopher server [1]. There was one web bot that constantly hit it and was clueless that it wasn't a web server. It finally got a clue.
