I've been trying to get luarocks to work on windows, and all it gives is cryptic gcc errors.

How does pip manage to work on most platforms without issues?

I was thinking of making a simple SSG (Static Site Generator), and I wanted to make it in lua.
some other cli tools, like scraping scripts as well.

So web scraping speed is at issue? I believe Python has beautifulsoup for web scrapping.

Unless it's for a learning experience, would recommend to not reinvent the wheel. Have been there done that too many times.

I feel like the village idiot cuz not properly learning that lesson.
