Anything you can do in nginScript, you can do in Lua. Except that Lua was lightweight to begin with. This isn't JS (as we know it), this doesn't get access to the Node/npm/bower/whatever ecosystems. The antipathy is a symptom of our JavaScript disease. We have grown tired of this affliction. We understand now what makes it less great than we once thought. The churn of rapidly growing and devolving JS frameworks, the slog of awful design-by-committee processes putting the language together... it is nothing compared to Lua's simplicity. And some clever fellows understood this long ago, on a site much like this one. Feel free to take a look. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7890685 |
