Wieso muss frau erst über drei Ecken erfahren, dass es eine "Gewerkschaft" für Care-Arbeit gibt?!
Ok ok, ich kenne ja die Antwort.

👉 LUA - Liga für unbezahlte Arbeit
Deutschlands erste gewerkschaftsähnliche Interessenvertretung für alle familiär Sorgearbeitenden.

Viele Mitglieder = größere Lobby☝️
Bitte weiter erzählen 📢

｢ It is almost a crime that JS as understood by the browser is this beautiful language with extreme retrocompatibility, while JS as understood and used by the current tooling and workflows is this mess moving at lightspeed ｣

#Lua disappoints me. Like, what’s the use in metatables if I can’t even attach one to a number or a function? Asking because I want to implement my functional threading operator in Lua (by redefinition __shr/>> operator), and it just... doesn’t come together?

You can attach stuff to numbers and functions in #JavaScript, which is much better (my operator is not implementable in #JS, but that’s for a different reason.) You can attach metadata (including functions) to ANYTHING in #Clojure. But not in Lua, apparently. Sigh.

The more I learn #lua, the more I see it as bizarro-world, path-not-taken #python, for good and for ill

#Lua is what a C++ developer thinks is "easy enough for a level designer".

#BASIC has the virtues of being trivial to read, write, and only has two data types, plus arrays of those. No classes, no function pointers. If you add named labels or functions, it's "modern" enough.

Hi, people! ✌️

I've build "Cat a shooter 😼" for Android, and this is the last thing that I have to do for a while.

And now you can download this game for your Android device 📱 from Gamejolt: https://gamejolt.com/games/cat-a-shooter/1007868

or from itch.io: https://xolatgames.itch.io/cat-a-shooter

Also I've add instructions for building to it GitLab page 👉 https://gitlab.com/xolatgames/cat-a-shooter

So, I think that it's all, and see ya later.

Have a good day! 😉 😜 ✌️

🦾 Why Lua Beats MicroPython for Serious Embedded Devs

｢ Lua isn’t just compatible with embedded systems; the Lua ANSI C library was designed for them. Its architecture is clean, compact, and deterministic.

MicroPython, on the other hand, is a reimplementation of Python 3. It works well for many embedded use cases, but it inherits assumptions from a desktop-oriented language ｣

From nothing to running iocaine + Caddy with ai.robots.txt's robots.json and a few metrics as a starting point.

Contains #Roto, #Lua, and #Fennel - and a few tests too, for each.

I'm on a bit of a roll lately, and have released #iocaine version 2.4.0 just a few moments ago.

This does not bring that many significant changes as 2.3.0 did, but it does introduce #Lua and #Fennel as languages you can script its decision making with, on top of #Roto, which was introduced in 2.2.0.

While these languages run slower than Roto, they're still very fast, and are not going to be a bottleneck - they do provide a more familiar language to write the decision making in!

Oh, and metrics can now be persisted across restarts.

In other #iocaine news, I'm doing some final polishing on #Lua scripting support, to make it as convenient as #Roto.

Right now, there's a differenc between how Lua and Roto scripts are loaded: with Roto, one needs to give a path to a directory, and pkg.roto will be loaded from there, and any imports will be relative to that directory.

With Lua, one gives iocaine a file path, and - currently - needs to set up the package.path search path manually.

So here's what I'll do: I'll make iocaine require a directory for Lua too, and it will add it to package.path, and will require("main"). The required module will also have to return a table with at least a decide key, and an optional run_tests key. This will simplify finding the functions to run, and will greatly reduce the number of special cases.
