OpenGL with lua?
Anyone know how to get started doing OpenGL with lua? I tried this library -> https://github.com/stetre/moongl but kept getting certain errors when running make. So any one know any other library's or maybe some other ways of using OpenGL like maybe a c library with lua or something? Or maybe if anyone one has experience using this library maybe theres something I might be missing?

Documentation for LuaGL
If you don't mind using software developed and maintained by an individual (myself), there's MoonGL together with a few other companion libraries. They are all documented and come with quite a few examples.

Help me understand Lua game dev
If you want a proof of concept, check out this example. It is a port I made of the Breakout game from Joey de Vries' LearnOpenGL, using only binding libraries (no framework).

How to code a system where “everything can interact with everything”?
And you can absolutely implement an ECS in Lua. It won't be as performant as in a language where you have direct memory access, but there is more to the ECS pattern than just performance, like modularity and separation of data and logic. I would never suggest anyone to implement a full blown game engine in Lua (though you could, using bindings like this: https://github.com/stetre/moongl) but it is certainly possible.

As someone else mentioned, try SDL2 directly if Löve2D isn't your thing. https://github.com/Tangent128/luasdl2
