Wow, amazing stuff. I love Lua, it was how I learned programming as a kid. Coincidently from the same world as the author. Open Tibia.
The author made a custom client (https://github.com/edubart/otclient) for the game that is still very much in active use by thousands of players. He's a very skilled developer.
Great to see AOT compiled Lua, I know of the other solutions: Luau (from Roblox), Teal, TypeScriptToLua, Terra, etc., but this one is my favorite so far.
Love the simple compilation to C (and WASM support via Emscripten). Though Terra's JIT is enticing and good replacement for LuaJIT, this is for embedded systems, it's a good replacement for Lua PUC-Rio.
Typed Lua Projects:
- https://luau-lang.org/
- https://terralang.org/
- https://github.com/teal-language/tl
- https://typescripttolua.github.io/
There's also a language server for Lua dialects for type checking in the IDE:
