** Day 1: The Call to Adventure
|
||||
- Installing Lua
|
||||
- Exploring with the REPL
|
||||
- Syntax
|
||||
- Types
|
||||
- Functions
|
||||
** Syntax
|
||||
#+BEGIN_CENTER
|
||||
/Whitespace doesn't matter/
|
||||
#+END_CENTER
|
||||
** Types
|
||||
- Lua is /dynamically/ typed
|
||||
- No integers (all numbers are 64-bit floats)
|
||||
- =nil= is its own type
|
||||
** Functions
|
||||
- Functions are /first-class values/
|
||||
- Arguments are flexible
|
||||
- Support arbitrary numbers of arguments
|
||||
- Support arbitrary numbers of results
|
||||
- Lua does /tail call optimization/
|
||||
** Variables
|
||||
#+BEGIN_CENTER
|
||||
Lua variables are /global by default/

** Wrapping Up
|
||||
#+BEGIN_QUOTE
|
||||
A lot of programmers see the surface of Lua’s clean syntax and assume
|
||||
it’s just another everyday scripting language. I certainly had that
|
||||
feeling at first glance. But I hope that as you’ve taken a deeper look
|
||||
at its tables and coroutines, you’ve enjoyed their beauty and
|
||||
simplicity.
|
||||
#+END_QUOTE
|
||||
** Wrapping Up: Strengths
|
||||
- Approachable
|
||||
- Portable
|
||||
- Easily included in other projects
|
||||
** Wrapping Up: Weaknesses
|
||||
- Batteries not included
|
||||
- Inefficient string handling
|
||||
- Quirky
|
||||
** Final Thoughts
|
||||
#+BEGIN_QUOTE
|
||||
Lua’s prototype-based object approach proves that you don’t need
|
||||
classes to build a great object system.
|
||||
