    build-once run-anywhere c library

  • Rebean is a single executable written in ANSI C that embeds Lua 5.4, MbedTLS and SQLite. The crazy thing about this is that it is a C binary that runs on six operating systems without any cross compiling thanks to leveraging Justine Tunney's cosmopolitan.

  • mbedTLS

    An open source, portable, easy to use, readable and flexible TLS library, and reference implementation of the PSA Cryptography API. Releases are on a varying cadence, typically around 3 - 6 months between releases.

  • fullmoon

    Fast and minimalistic Redbean-based Lua web framework in one file.

  • Found it whilst checking out a web framework specifically for redbean: https://github.com/pkulchenko/fullmoon

  • cosmopolitan

  • cosmopolitan is super cool. you easily ship a lua program as cross platform, dependency free, static executable by building the lua interpreter with cosmopolitan, zipping in in a bunch of lua files, and adding a .arg file to launch your program by default. i recently built my lua program clp with cosmopolitan, you can see it here: https://github.com/jpe90/cosmopolitan/tree/clp
