My project is Sweave2Rmd, which is a project to convert all Bioconductor Sweave vignettes to Rmd.
Lua is a lightweight, high-level, multi-paradigm programming language designed primarily for embedded use in applications. Lua is cross-platform, since the interpreter of compiled bytecode is written in ANSI C, and Lua has a relatively simple C API to embed it into applications.
In my first two weeks, I found almost everything confusing. I had not interacted with Latex and Pandoc that much before. Given R is an older programming language and the code was written long ago, syntax was different for some elements and I had to learn what some things mean, how they were done before and how they are done now. The good thing is, as human beings one of our super powers is to learn, adapt to change and . That has really helped me throughout the internship till now.
