Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Why HN links it

Comments link Mikail Khan's CalcuLaTeX web calculator and a follow-up post on using Lua as a serialization format. One commenter flags a broken link to the earlier post in that series.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

While Lua as a language works perfectly for me, it will be pretty difficult to compile to WASM as part of a Rust project. The two most mature embeddable Rust scripting languages at the moment seem to be Gluon and Rhai. Gluon, unlike Rhai and Lua, is inspired by Haskell and OCaml and highl…
