Ah, I’m the one who misread, sorry.
Yeah, compiling things from scratch is the norm for lua packages, making them really only work on linux.
Sorry if it was unclear, I constantly get cryptic gcc errors using luarocks a package manager for lua. Its years behind pip.
Lua runs everywhere (almost), but I cannot install a uuid library on windows.
Compared to luarocks, pip is amazing.
Lack of windows support for most luarocks modules has stopped me from writing a lot of stuff in lua.
I’m a big fan of what it is, but I’d love if there was something unique people could come here for, I’m describing it terribly though.
