Moonstone: A Modern, Cross-Platform Lua Runtime Built with Zig

Moonstone: Modern, cross-platform Lua runtime and package manager written in Zig

I am introducing Moonstone, a reliable and modern Lua runtime designed to work seamlessly across all platforms. Built using the powerful Zig programming language, it also serves as a comprehensive package manager. You can set up your Lua environment instantly with a single command, ensuring your development workflow is fast, efficient, and ready for any project.

Reliable Lua environments, ready at a snap.

    What is the current state of the art lua toolchain? Lua is king for dsl embedded in other software.

    Used it for world of warcraft scripting and openresty http rules, that’s a wide range.

    I like the idea for this project, but not a huge fan of the AI-written docs.

    Lua works great on Nix. I don't get the urge to create more package managers.
