learn LUA

it’s not as powerful as you might expect (despite all the hype), you WILL need a lot of add-ons/external libs in order to achieve some trivial tasks (not really a bad trade-off considering it’s size and speed), beyond that i can’t say anything bad about it, lua does what it says on the box, have fun hacking!

So, after taking Visual Basic for one semester in high school, I decided to try and learn lua, so that I can code games for my PSP. So, 2 weeks later, and I finished my little tutorial I found online, and i can write… nothing. I’ve been trying for the past week to write selection screen program and i cant even get past that. But I refuse to give up.

As a piece of my graduate project, I’ve been approved to write a World of Warcraft add-on. I’ll need to learn Lua and the WoW API, but I don’t think that’ll be too bad. This should be fun.

I want to learn Lua, beyond World of Warcraft. Hackin’ with Lua has been amazingly fun … and I bet knowing it independently of a particular API will look nice alongside Max and MEL script on my resume!

LUA as a tiny embeddable scripting language sounds good.

Had no good reason to look into it, until now. Started using ION on my aging PII as window manager, and it uses LUA for scripting.
