EMILUA(7)

💅 NAME 💅

Emilua — a Lua execution engine, and yes bestie the whole page is literally just about that 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so first things first: Emilua is built on top of LuaJIT, which basically means you get Lua 5.1 plus some Lua 5.2 extensions. cute, right? 💖

but here's the plot twist 😭 — some of the builtin Lua modules conflict with Emilua's own modules, so they're just… not available. gone. not invited to the party 🙈 and this page? this page is the whole guest list of divergences. every single one. no cap.

🎀 ENABLED MODULES 🎀

these ones ate and are absolutely serving, they're all in:

• Basic library — and yes, this includes the coroutine sub-library 💅 (she comes as a package deal, icon behaviour)
• String
• Table
• Math
• BitOp
• JIT
• FFI

💀 the ones that did NOT make the cut 💀

in other words, lowkey the following modules are not enabled:

• IO — nope 🫶
• OS — nope 🌸
• Package — a replacement which may or may not be a drop-in replacement will be available in the future 👀 (so like… don't hold your breath, but also stay tuned bestie)
• Debug — it'll be available in a future release ⭐ (future you is gonna be so lucky)

fr fr do not go looking for these, they're not here, i already checked 💀

and that's the tea 🍓 this little gem is from Emilua 0.12.1-nixpkgs1, dated 1980-01-01 (yes the date is giving time-traveller main character energy, we don't question it 👑). mwah, go write some Lua 💜✨
