I gotta say, it's really fucking annoying I always need to write a SHIT TON O BOILER PLATE for any lua code

can you elaborate please? I'm thinking about learning lua

and here I thought the appeal was that it was a concise language

@kiki like, say, you're doing some async IO. You have coroutines, but you have to write your own async/await mechanism. Same if you're doing OOP, either emulate the "class" keyword or define every single class using prototypical inheritance.

It's like that everytime. It seems small at first, but it adds up a lot

@kobenz oh so basic language support is missing
