well i just picked up a pc for the first time in a while, and i have a great idea for a project involving lua
what are your thoughts on lua ? any one code in it ?
-
Never tried Lua. I know SL4A supports it, but the only thing scripted I went with was Python.
-
I used it to configure my Awesome WM setup.. Cried blood, but looks fine now.. Except than that, I have no opinion on Lua, but why does your project require Lua?
-
lua is not so much valuable by itself, quite honestly there are more capable scripting languages like Python and Ruby which have a much wider module base. However, it is very useful to leverage it to add a scripting component to various applications. For example, Gary's mod uses it. And a little bit more malicious of an example, flame (that new malware that was just found) had a built-in lua interpreter so that the controllers could script the infected clients.

Flame is where i got the idea from , my idea is basically the same thing but less complicated, just a basic (rat,trojan,w\e u wana call it) base with a lua interpreter
with alien lua has access to the WINAPI plus you can code in c\c++ (more ?) and have lua access it. will be a fun community project, since anyone can write scripts for the (rat,trojan,w\e) and then post them :)
