You may have noticed in the last luvit release that luv now has release versions.
This is because luv is packaged as a standalone luarock <https://luarocks.org/modules/creationix/luv>. If you want to use the libuv bindings in a non-luvit setting, imply install luarocks and cmake on your system and install it using luarocks: luarocks install luv <https://asciinema.org/a/estzfvcpa5szxn0yvb13se2rq> If all goes well, you'll be able to `require("luv")` from your lua program. You will still have normal lua require systems and the normal lua repl (though it's much improved in lua 5.3). This is an alternative path for people who prefer a more traditional lua workflow. I have a sample web application framework <https://github.com/creationix/luvweb/tree/master/src> where I hand-ported several luvit and lit libraries to work with vanilla luv in normal lua. If there is interest, I'll write a blog post showing a simple way to get starting using this new technique with normal lua and luarocks. -Tim Caswell -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "luvit" group.
