    LÖVE is an awesome 2D game framework for Lua.

  • My preferred environment these days is LÖVE (https://love2d.org). 5MB binary, 27MLoC of C for the Linux kernel (or more for equivalent OSs, I imagine) + a few million more for low-level libraries, graphics, et cetera, 12kLoC for Lua, 10kLoC for any app I am likely to create. It's still a lot, but it's much less than various alternatives and feels like a nice sweet spot.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
