Steve Donovan has been promoting Penlight, a big bunch of utilties, recently over on the Lua mailing list. I was going to mention this earlier but got distracted and lazy and stuff.

I think outside of the file operations it's pure Lua.

Depending on what you want to do, this may also be worth a look:

And something I'm almost sure of none of the libraries have: a list. Like this? http://www.netbeans.org/images/articles/vwp-listbox_components/final_page.png I've got one in TacoShell, though it's single-selection only. (Also, no scroll bar.) I left it and a few other widgets out of the demo. A dia...

There was a reason for the repeat-until loop, but I messed up the example. :P It should read repeat until true ... this "loops" once, but you can still break out, thereby faking the continue. If you don't break, it proceeds normally. If you need to mix breaks and continues, though, this is...

If you don't need to do a break, you can simulate a continue as follows: for i = 1, NumberOfThingsToIterate do -- OUTER LOOP repeat -- "LOOP" to break out of in order to continue if WantsToContinue() then break -- "continue" end DoRegularStuff() until false end

I have some difficulties to anderstand why do you use so many Boot.lua etc. Thanks :D EDIT: the Boot.lua is used to index the content of the directory ? Yes, that's all the Boot.lua scripts are for; it's just a file that the loader will check for when it hits a new directory. [1] I used to load eve...

That's not even a coding style, it's just unnecessarily bad.

Anything in particular?

I'm planning some cleanup; I'll take anything reasonable into consideration.

Have you tested how much replacing all global variables with locals does in practice? It's been a while since I started localizing a lot, and I think I adopted LuaJIT around that same time, so I can't really say. It's probably not a major concern unless you actually start seeing issues, and then th...
