Does this run on bare metal? Are there any plans to include graphics primitives? As another comment suggested, Lua seems to lend itself to certain kinds of projects. This looks like it could mesh well with my forever project to rewrite userland in Love2d!
I find it quite interesting how particular languages seem to disproportionally attract specific kinds of projects. From a first glance, this is the second somewhat opinionated, compact, minimal-dependency interpreter/shell/library bundle despite the Lua(JIT) ecosystem being tiny. The other example I have in mind for this would've been luapower, which sadly became somewhat inactive. I really like the simplicity of the…

Lua, with batteries included, like a swiss army knife ..
Speaking about "batteries included" LuaJIT, people might be interested in https://franko.github.io/gsl-shell

This is what culture is right? Different sorts of people are attracted to different sorts of things and so the culture that builds around those things is somewhat self reinforcing. Lua's culture mirrors its core and attracts people who like simple extensible solutions to problems. This looks like a pretty compelling simple extensible tool. Hopefully the development continues and doesn't drop off like Luapower. I do w…
