@irelephant do anyone care a thing about windoze? :O
Lack of windows support for most luarocks modules has stopped me from writing a lot of stuff in lua.
Who are you writing package for?
backend stuff need not run on Windows at all.
I was thinking of making a simple SSG (Static Site Generator), and I wanted to make it in lua.
some other cli tools, like scraping scripts as well.
So web scraping speed is at issue? I believe Python has beautifulsoup for web scrapping.
Unless it's for a learning experience, would recommend to not reinvent the wheel. Have been there done that too many times.
I feel like the village idiot cuz not properly learning that lesson.
No, speed isn't the issue. Its installing packages/modules on windows with luarocks, the lua package manager. It doesn't work half the time on windows.
@irelephant lack of support of an "operating system" that shouldnt exist at all is actually a great thing! ;)
most people are on windows, so if I make something, it should support that.
@irelephant it reminds me what my mother used to say all the time: "its not because most people are jumping into a hole that you have to as well" xD
