   I'm somehow unbothered by the fact that lists conventionally start at one in Lua

     @neko I feel like starting at one and using it as an ordinal is better when you're a beginner but really quickly it's better to use it as an offset.

     @neko for the purposes of lua at least it's fine I guess

     @sun There was something i read that Lua starting at 1 makes sense considering that Lua arrays (or tables) arent sequential memory locations, thus starting at 0 makes no sense since 0 would imply memory at a zero offset (like *(i + 0) in C/++)

     @neko @sun especially since lua tables are key value, forbidding nil(and 0) as a value from the standard library interfaces introduces a bunch of useful accidental error checking

     Lua is great for UI due to the easy use hashing.

     @thendrix @neko @sun that's why my fedi frontend (https://256.lt/virus.exe) is implemented in it, dropping a https://redbean.dev/ zip file anywhere as a universal executable never gets boring

     @neko @sun @thendrix that was the previous one that codeberg nuked off the web for cum posting a little too hard
     
     was excited to try out a new lua web framework and it worked out well, even if it's really restricted to what a jarted tranny approves, unless you dox/cla your info to them, which is why it never became a full AP implementation and just stayed a frontend without the ability to add in RSA/PEM handling, since even small issues like post requests being limited to 16K took ages to fix
     
     third one will be in elixir again, whenever i can be bothered to make my own backend not vaporware, but the way the network is going, there's just not much of a want to reinvent mastodons federation model all over again
