Hello
what is the best Lua integration available?
I have found these two so far:
* https://github.com/JakobOvrum/LuaD (only Lua 5.1)
* https://github.com/DerelictOrg/DerelictLua (Lua 5.3)
The former seems better/more active. Are there other similar
projects
that I am missing?
Thanks
LuaD is a lot more then just a binding. It does have static
bindings to Lua. Where as DerelictLua has dynamic bindings
(linking is done at runtime to shared libraries).
Not to mention much more high level(LuaD).
Yes I see the higher level as a weakness. It may save you time to
integrate in D, but tries to hide complexity. Hiding complexity
can hurt in other ways.
I think I will go for the more C-like binding of DerelictLua; I
am fine for the shared libraries binding as I don't need static
bindings, but I guess that could be added without too much effort?
