I love Lua, it's a good programming language with a nice syntax, I wish it was more widely used.

not sure i know lua, but it sounds like a cool programming language :D

It has one-based indexes. That isn't nice when you have to do any kind of math with them.

i also like lua except for when the tables are 1-based. i made a website that runs lua code on the client. it also has a text editor i made that i spent most of my time on and is very buggy.

are replit links allowed here?

yeh

here's my online lua interpreter if anyone's interested
https://lua-interpreter.phazrlazr.repl.co/

also the text editor selection thingy is kinda buggy. i should just use something like codemirror but i wanted to make a text editor as a learning experience.

If it's open source you could potentially make a fork with zero indexing, I agree this is an essential feature for any programming language to have

You just need to know C

I wonder how making a parser and lexer in lua would work, its very fast.

Im gonna write one
