LuaRT: Lua programming environment for console, desktop applications for Windows

• win32metadata

  28 1,297 0.0 C++

  Tooling to generate metadata for Win32 APIs in the Windows SDK.

  

I'm always looking for alternatives to AutoHotkey and small C WINAPI programs I've written. Rust doesn't quite cut it, even with Microsoft's windows-rs library using the WinAPI functions is worse than it was with plain C. This is because you have to hunt the right libraries and features to import, it's surprisingly time-consuming.

Excited to look how LuaRT exposes WinAPI, my ideal would be one global namespace where you can easily auto-import all the normal functions. Microsoft has made it somewhat easy for library authors to generate the externs with their relatively new Win32metadata package: https://github.com/microsoft/win32metadata

and do a no-install copy-paste deployment of powershell 7 and modules. (I'm not saying you should do this instead of using Lua, just that you can).
