I have no PTSD, but I recently lost my job, and while I am looking for another one I decided to use the time off in order to stop smoking, so far it's been a bit more than 3 weeks, and I think it's been the period I've been playing the most videogames since high school, it is really useful to overcome temporary cravings by doing something that doesn't require much mental efforts but still keeps the mind busy to don't think about smoking, every day I am suffering less and less, and I think without videogames it would have been much harder.

Keep in mind, I'm 37 years old and have smoked since I was 13

Lua isn't really sandbox friendly, although that's a common misconception.

Lua (by design) doesn't provide termination guarantees or a good way to force an untrusted program to terminate. If you accept untrusted lua input, be prepared for your program to halt indefinitely.

Lua is great for semi-trusted input, AKA things you download from the internet, where you do a minimal amount of due diligence, but in case the code is actually malicious, you want to severely limit (but not completely eliminate) the harm it can do.

If you actually need Javascript-style completely untrusted input,, what you want is the Roblox fork called Luau[1].

That's the way I have been saying it in my head this whole time! Think you have enough weight with the team to get them to officially change their terminology?

I may have made that verbal slip while giving a talk on Truffle.

Do you know, why they use both ANTLR and Truffle?

Those aren't "buzzwords" though, it's a very specific way to implement programming languages. It's not really meaningful except for the PL implementation nerds.

Especially the Futamura projections. It's almost magic and very few people have even heard of them.

Really? Link?
