Yeah, there are a lot of odd inclusions like that; things that overlap or replace standard lua flow for no reason (see ternary expressions[0]). I would love an expanded lua, with built-in classes and a more robust standard library, but this feels more like a rewrite into a new langauge with two vastly different design philosophies layered awkwardly on top of each other. Which it is I guess.

I don't mean to discount the work that has gone into it, and there are a lot of really neat features here. But honestly I think it would be stronger as a standalone thing, without all the lua baggage, given how far idiomatic pluto diverges from idiomatic lua.
