  3. lua_cliargs

    A command-line argument parsing module for Lua.

  4. LuaConsole

  5. awesome-lua

  6. luash

    Tiny lua module to write shell scripts with lua (inspired by Python's sh module)

    Then this library helped me, although it's not a complete solution, because it's just a wrapper that allows you to execute shell commands from lua, but it doesn't replace them with anything new, so it still feels as usual bash-scripting, but with lua syntax.

  7. InfluxDB

    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.
