PolyDev :: a better "Hello World" for polyglot devs
Lua is a popular tool scripting language - it's used in a variety of settings notably Roblox, the GNU Image Mainpulation Program ("GIMP"), and if I may just momentarily shill, in Minetest. I used to write and maintain various mods for Minetest, and it's even fair to say I did a lot of my learning during that time... there's a lot of learning that can happen on spare time when you're also having fun 😄

Bytecode Breakdown: Unraveling Factorio's Lua Security Flaws
In general, verifying programs is extremely hard, not just because of rice's theorem but because it's so easy to miss a spot, especially for non-trivial bytecode languages like lua's. wasm has no concepts of for loops for example.
It's strange that after upstream has given up on the problem as it was too hard, factorio devs have chosen to try to fix the verifier/write their own (not sure which of the two they did).
Minetest's loadstring function forbids bytecode entirely: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/9a1501ae89ffe79c38...
I wonder why factorio mods need the ability to execute raw lua bytecode. If they don't have it, there would be no need for a verifier.

Edgar, Build a Dyson Swarm
Been there, done that.
Nothing beats industrial Minecraft (in it's prime, which it isn't in atm as far as I konw) IMO.
Not even close, when considering the ability to add magic/farming/computer stuff.
Though Minetest[0] has some pretry cool packs.
