Can confirm the same works on Graphene. Also works directly from the "Recents" list.

I was just at a US airport and there were a bunch of signs saying you can opt out of having your face scanned at security, you just have to tell them.

Though, if you have a passport or driver's license, its not like they don't already have your face...

It's actually already using wasmtime as one layer in its sandbox. I just think that trying to support other languages, especially in a fully language agnostic way, would make things like documentation far more complex than I could handle and make the service complex enough that the only people who could understand it would be the type of person who don't really need a service like this in the first place.

Thanks!

A bit of both, though I'm literally drinking out of a coffee mug with the Lua logo on it that was given to me after playing a big part in making Lua a thing at a prevoius job. That might speak to my love of Lua.

> Do you think a service like yours with support for many variety of languages a good idea?

From a technical perspective, it would be relatively easy to add support for other languages, the biggest problem would be UI and documentation complexity. Each added language would either require a completely seperate set of documentaion or would require the docs to describe everything one layer of abstraction removed from the code people would actually be writing. Both of which would be less than ideal for my goal of extreme simplicity.

I think it can be a good idea, but to support something like that _well_ would require a pretty large team of people.

I do plan to support some level of 'other languages' for libraries, at a minimum some subset of native Lua libraries (ie. libs written in C). That means it would be possible to find a way to use pretty much any other language interpreter. However, I'm not sure that will ever be a top level feature, there'll probably always be some level of Lua glue code holding everything together.

Great to hear! And thanks for saying so. I've definitely tried to make it as simple and straight forward as possible, but I really didn't know if it would be simple and straight forward to anyone but me.

It doesn't say because there's no special support for any auth protocols. Long-term I want to have out-of-the-box support for things like OAuth (for user-facing auth) or mutual TLS (for device/service auth). _Technically_ there's currently support for the cryptographic primitives required to do JWT (I added that because I wanted to support WebPush w/ payloads for myself), but those aren't documented because I intend to remove the current slightly-hacky custom APIs and replace them with some off the shelf libraries, but I'm still figuring out user-added libraries (and on top of that I'll also need to figure out support for native libraries).

Are there any auth protocols / flows you think would be important to support?

Thanks!

I know the homepage needs way more answer to "WTH is it?", I just don't really enjoy doing the 'marketing' side of things. I hadn't really considered just throwing something informal up there, but I guess I don't really know _why_, so, thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks!

Coincidentally, I'm currently working on supporting luarocks packages. (Well, some of them, I want to at least support the ones that are pure lua or use the "builtin" build system (which means they don't have any native dependencies).)

Thanks!

Sadly no, it shutdown in 2017. If you try to login, it doesn't actually go anywhere.

Best I can tell the domain was picked up by some SEO scam. I'm guessing the way it works is they republish all the old content to keep the domain's reputation and then added a bunch of links to their sites to try to boost those site's reputation.

I've found the rust core team to be very open to feedback. And maybe I've just been using Rust for too long, but the syntax feels quite reasonable to me.

Just for my own curiosity, do you have an examples of suggestions for how to improve the syntax that have been brought up and dismissed by the language maintainers?
