What would be the significant benefits if one would develop equivalent libraries that are available for Python for Lua/Nelua?

• batteries

  4 285 7.4 Lua

  Reusable dependencies for games made with lua (especially with love)

Lua is a small language and its "standard library" is very minimal. Lua's intended for embedding so usually the host program provides a broader standard library by exposing functions to lua. However, there are several standard library packages for lua: batteries and lume are focused on gamedev; Penlight aims at bringing the breadth of python's stdlib to lua; plenary.nvim for nvim plugins; and probably more for other domains. I'd definitely recommend checking these out to help get closer to functionality level of most other languages (I use both lume and batteries, but dropped penlight awhile back because I found some implementations confusing/overcomplicated/inconsistent).

• lume

  9 941 0.0 Lua

  Lua functions geared towards gamedev (by rxi)

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com featured

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• Penlight

  7 1,823 6.6 Lua

  A set of pure Lua libraries focusing on input data handling (such as reading configuration files), functional programming (such as map, reduce, placeholder expressions,etc), and OS path management. Much of the functionality is inspired by the Python standard libraries.

• plenary.nvim

  58 2,399 7.5 Lua

  plenary: full; complete; entire; absolute; unqualified. All the lua functions I don't want to write twice.
