    Lua

    Lua

    The Lua development repository, as seen by the Lua team

    Lua is a powerful, efficient, lightweight, embeddable scripting language. It supports procedural programming, object-oriented programming, functional programming, data-driven programming, and data description. Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode with a register-based virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping. Lua is designed, implemented, and maintained by a team at PUC-Rio, the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Lua was born and raised in Tecgraf, formerly the Computer Graphics Technology Group of PUC-Rio. Lua is now housed at LabLua, a laboratory of the Department of Computer Science of PUC-Rio.

    Omarchy

    Omarchy

    Opinionated Arch/Hyprland Setup

    Omarchy is an opinionated, pre-configured setup built on top of Arch Linux and the Hyprland window manager, designed to provide a “just-works” developer environment right out of the box. The project targets users who want the power and flexibility of Arch Linux and Hyprland without spending hours assembling the pieces—everything from install scripts to theming and workspace behavior comes pre-wired. Because it is “opinionated,” the maintainers make strong choices about defaults (tooling, layout, theming) so you end up with a coherent system rather than 1000 little decisions. It’s particularly geared toward web developers and teams who want a consistent environment across machines. While the project simplifies many pain points of manual Arch/Hyprland setups, it still expects users to be comfortable with advanced tools and Linux workflows. It also emphasizes extendability: you can use the default build as your starting point and then customize further.

    Textadept

    Textadept

    Fast, and remarkably extensible cross-platform text editor

    A fast, minimalist, and remarkably extensible cross-platform text editor. Textadept’s user interface is sleek and simple. Relentlessly optimized for speed and minimalism over the years, the editor consists of less than 2000 lines of C and C++ code, and less than 4000 lines of Lua code. Textadept runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. It also has a terminal version, which is ideal for work on remote machines. Textadept is an ideal editor for programmers who want endless extensibility without sacrificing speed or succumbing to code bloat and featuritis. The editor gives you complete control over the entire application using the Lua programming language. Everything from moving the caret to changing menus and key bindings on the fly to handling core events is possible. Its potential is vast.

    Crazy Eddies GUI System (CEGUI)

    Crazy Eddies GUI System (CEGUI)

    A fast, powerful and adaptable GUI solution

    Crazy Eddie's GUI (CEGUI) system is a graphical user interface C++ library. It was designed particularly for the needs of videogames, but the library is usable for non-game tasks, such as any other type of applications (rendering/visualisation/virtual reality) and tools. It is designed for user flexibility in look-and-feel, as well as being adaptable to the user's choice in tools and operating systems. Established in 2003, CEGUI sees continual, active development and remains one of the most powerful and most popular options for developers requiring an adaptable and efficient GUI solution. CEGUI is fully supported by the developers that created - and continue to develop - the library, and who are accessible via the project's dedicated internet forums and IRC channel. For more information, more screenshots and for news, check out out our homepage: http://cegui.org.uk The repository is now at bitbucket (including our issue/bug tracker): https://bitbucket.org/cegui

    lua-resty-openidc

    lua-resty-openidc

    OpenID Connect Relying Party and OAuth 2.0 Resource Server

    lua-resty-openidc is a library for NGINX implementing the OpenID Connect Relying Party (RP) and/or the OAuth 2.0 Resource Server (RS) functionality. When used as an OpenID Connect Relying Party it authenticates users against an OpenID Connect Provider using OpenID Connect Discovery and the Basic Client Profile (i.e. the Authorization Code flow). When used as an OAuth 2.0 Resource Server it can validate OAuth 2.0 Bearer Access Tokens against an Authorization Server or, in case a JSON Web Token is used for an Access Token, verification can happen against a pre-configured secret/key. It maintains sessions for authenticated users by leveraging lua-resty-session thus offering a configurable choice between storing the session state in a client-side browser cookie or use in of the server-side storage mechanisms shared-memory|memcache|redis.

    Everforest

    Everforest

    Comfortable & Pleasant Color Scheme for Vim

    Everforest is a calm, green-tinted color scheme designed to reduce eye strain with soft contrast and carefully tuned foreground–background relationships.

It supports true color terminals and is designed to look consistent across GUI Vim, terminal Vim, and Neovim. The theme includes highlight groups for many popular plugins, so statuslines, file explorers, and LSP diagnostics blend naturally. It aims for legible syntax differentiation without harsh saturation, making it well-suited to long coding or writing sessions.

    Lapis

    Lapis

    A web framework for Lua and OpenResty written in MoonScript

    Lapis is a framework for building web applications in Lua (or MoonScript) that primarily targets OpenResty, a high-performance web platform that runs on a customized version of Nginx. Lapis can also be used in other server environments, being compatible with any modern version of Lua. With OpenResty, Lua is run directly inside of the Nginx worker using LuaJIT, giving you the smallest barrier between the webserver and your code. Have a look at Web Framework Benchmarks just to see how OpenResty stacks up against other platforms. Utilizing the power of Lua coroutines, you can write clean code that looks synchronous but can achieve high throughput by automatically running asynchronously without blocking. Networking operations like database queries and HTTP requests will automatically yield to allow for handling concurrent requests, all without all that callback spaghetti seen in other asynchronous platforms.
