Proposal: smartlua

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next] [Date Index] [Thread Index]


Proposal: "smartlua"
smartlua should be: an executable that runs Lua code easily.
smartlua should:
 -run on Linux and Windows
 -be delivered as a single executable (shell script/.exe, resp.)
 -look at the Lua source file(s) and guess what libraries are needed
 -make includes be found automatically
 -download and install standard libraries if needed
Basic invocation:
 ./smartlua <scriptname>
 (More options in the future.)
As there is some guess work involved in what smartlua does, there should be a confirmation of all actions by the user (smartlua prepares all actions,
presents them to the user and requests a simple y/n before proceeding).
First step to realizing smartlua: Let's collect example scripts you run all day. (Hopefully your scripts are not secret? Secrets are not so good. They make collaboration difficult. Why not just open up?)
Cheers,
Stefan
