Executable Blog Posts: Second Take

1. pandoc

   1 447 38,387 9.8 Haskell

   Universal markup converter

   

   pandoc has a feature called filters. These filters are small programs that can manipulate the AST of the document. They can be written in any language, but the most common language is Lua as its interpreter is embedded in pandoc, and it is faster compared to the JSON filter interface which is also used by other languages (You may wish to listen to the Episode 37 of The Haskell Interlude podcast, where Joachim Breitner and David Christiansen interview John MacFarlane, the creator of pandoc, where he mentions Lua vs JSON filters).

2. InfluxDB

   www.influxdata.com featured

   InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads. InfluxDB 3 OSS is now GA. Transform, enrich, and act on time series data directly in the database. Automate critical tasks and eliminate the need to move data externally. Download now.

   

3. lua

   2 13 6 0.0

   The Lua repo, as seen by the Lua team. Mirrored irregularly. Please DO NOT send pull requests. Send any issue to the Lua mailing list https://www.lua.org/lua-l.html (by ahgamut)

   

   This is a second take for my previous blog post Abusing Haskell: Executable Blog Posts. This time, I am going to improve the solution with a Lua filter for pandoc.

4. wezterm

   3 156 21,070 9.7 Rust

   A GPU-accelerated cross-platform terminal emulator and multiplexer written by @wez and implemented in Rust

   

   I used Lua for years to configure my awesomewm desktop environment. Then, I started using it to configure my Wezterm. Since I bumped into an Emacs bug (lsp-mode bug to be fair), I switched quickly to Neovim after 20 years of Emacs, and I am using Lua to configure my Neovim. Last but not least, OpenResty gives my Nginx superpowers with Lua.
