Catwell's Lua playground
This repository is used to store the various Open Source tools, algorithms and libraries I write in Lua (or rather LuaJIT + FFI) that do not deserve their own repository.
These are mostly unmaintained prototypes and ideas I gave up on. Projects I become more serious about graduate to their own repositories.
Prototypes
Me playing with something. Will move to another category soon, most probably "unmaintained".
- lua-mdb: pure Lua code to read LMDB databases
- etpan: WIP libetpan binding
Maintained (somewhat)
If you send me a bug report on one of those projects, I will at least try to give you an answer. I may update some of them.
- sha256: a SHA-256 implementation in pure LuaJIT+FFI.
- blake2b: a Lua 5.3 implementation of BLAKE2b.
- crdt: implementation of some Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types in Lua.
- deque: simple deque implementation (similar to the lists used in fakeredis).
- bimap: mirrored map implementation.
Unmaintained
I am unlikely to work again on any of those projects.
- lualua: an unfinished implementation of Lua 5.2 in LuaJIT.
- luajit-msgpack: LuaJIT FFI-based module for MessagePack.
- lua-pipe: syntax experiment, Lua version of Pipe in Python.
- lua-zerorpc: ZeroRPC implementation.
- nsqc: a NSQ client.
- cwbase: deprecated in favor of base2base.
Sample code
Not really tools, but rather small examples of how to do some things.
- cwtools: a small collection of useful functions
- concurrent-dotproduct: a simple ConcurrentLua example (outdated)
- unix: luaposix sample code (and C counterparts)
- tcpchat: simple TCP chat + Lua interpreter with LuaSocket
- git: toy implementation of parts of Git
- mirrorfs: a FUSE filesystem that mirrors a directory (uses Flu)
