  • 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.

  • 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.
