- Imperatorn (2/8) Nov 26 2021 Cool! 😍
- russhy (13/42) Nov 26 2021 Nice projects! thanks for sharing
- SealabJaster (2/14) Nov 26 2021 I'll fix them up though.
Lumars is a high-level wrapper around the Lua API. It only targets Lua 5.1 because of LuaJit. It bundles a precompiled version of LuaJit for Windows and Posix x86_64 machines to make it easier to include. The main highlight of the latest release is the ability to create EmmyLua-annotated code, allowing you to automatically generate up-to-date documentation for your D-side functions, that lua plugins can digest to allow for intelisense. (it has a long way to go still, but this is at least a start for it). https://github.com/BradleyChatha/lumars You could describe it as a "single-binary, batteries-included Lua distro" that aims to provide a decent built-in library for Lua scripts to consume. Personally, I dislike bash, and I like Lua, so I want to use Lua wherever possible >:3 Lumarsh also has support for luarocks, so you can still use external libraries if needed. Because it's powered by Lumars, it was [very easy](https://github.com/BradleyChatha/lumarsh/blob/master/source/api/path.d) to expose some select Phobos modules for Lua to use. `dub run lumarsh -- args` is the easiest way to mess around with it. I haven't actually written the code to generate the EmmyLua stuff yet, but that's because I'm amazingly lazy at times (it should only take 5 mins at most). https://github.com/BradleyChatha/lumarsh They're both still pretty rough around the edges, and definitely have some usability issues, but I feel they're both ready for others to experiment with at least.
