  • Gearing up for Lua
    3 projects | dev.to | 1 Jan 2024
    If you're familiar with awesome-lists, you'll be happy to know that an awesome-lua repository does in fact exist. This list contains more interesting stuff about the language, along with going deeper into certain niches that I'm not even going to start to touch.
  • What's your opinion on Lua programming language?
    3 projects | /r/programming | 26 Mar 2023
    Lua has a lot going for it. Its memory footprint is nicely small, its practical expressiveness is quite high (though not as high as Python's or Perl's), luajit's runtime performance is very good for such a highly-expressive language, and it has a great set of libraries integrating with a lot of commonly-used services.
  • Advice to Aimless, Excited Programmers (2010)

    I believe there is a way to accomplish this without seeking input from people on Reddit or message boards for new domains to contribute to.

    There are lists on Github that curate libraries native to a particular programming language. For example, there is a list for Lua (https://github.com/LewisJEllis/awesome-lua) and another for Python (https://github.com/vinta/awesome-python). Explore these lists to identify areas that may require assistance. Some of these lists have not been updated for years, so it is worthwhile to conduct additional research on the domain before undertaking a project.

    I have personally completed a project using this approach, although I did have some background knowledge in that domain.
