Apologies, but that perfection would be bad for people on screen readers.

most people are on windows, so if I make something, it should support that.

Thanks, this is the explanation I was looking for.

Also, lua is the same, packages are either written in c or pure lua.

[–] irelephant@programming.dev 1 points 4 days ago

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.

I'm a big fan of what it is, but I'd love if there was something unique people could come here for, I'm describing it terribly though.

It would be nice to hear about it in other places.

hetzner is a very popular cloud hosting provider.

Ah, I'm the one who misread, sorry.

Yeah, compiling things from scratch is the norm for lua packages, making them really only work on linux.

Sorry if it was unclear, I constantly get cryptic gcc errors using luarocks a package manager for lua. Its years behind pip.

[–] irelephant@programming.dev 0 points 5 days ago

Pip does fail sometimes, but its not half as bad as luarocks.

[–] irelephant@programming.dev 1 points 5 days ago

The instructions don't work half the time.

 

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?
