The quality of your video is amazing, and you are such a good teacher. i'm still at half of the course but i hope there will be more of lua ! thanks alot !

I watched the whole video. Great and Smooth! Keep up the good work :))

Good to see you back ;)

this video was such a great finding! I've been learning lua myself by trial and error, and I got stuck not knowing how to structure my code properly. (ah, so that's how Lua modules work!) thanks a lot for your time and valuable info. you are an amazing teacher.

Time stamps please

This is great! I use Lua in an audio/visual/control system called QSYS by the audio company QSC. Lua is used to control automation, build plugins to connect to other devices or extend stock functionality of the system. This video is helpful for me to fill in some gaps, where I sometimes find it difficult to read the manual, having someone explain it in a different way is awesome. Much appreciated!

Thank you for this, it would be nice if you could do Luau also, its like a Typescript version of Lua that is being use by Roblox

I feel there's not many informative, in-depth videos on YT about Lua; specially for OOP. (I know that's not Lua's strongest suit but, in the environment I'm currently working in, it's either Lua or C) if you ever have the time to tackle more advanced concepts like how to use Lua modules to do composition or how to make use of mixins with Lua, that would be wonderful. either way, you've got a new subscriber!

Огромное спасибо!

Hi Trevor ! It's a very awesome topic, because I'm going to learn Lua to configure NeoVim😆

12:29 you are able to install Lua through Homebrew with `brew install lua`

Hi Trevor, which theme are you using in the video? I like your purple theme.

1:02 And various entirely non useful things like my game mods 😂 And it is like Java imo. It and HTML are the only languages of any kind even had passing knowledge of before picked up Lua to mod the total wars games beyond texture swapping etc. It felt familiar to me, and wasn’t until dipping my toes into other programming languages, let’s say more mature languages, that I realized how they differ

when i use the run code command in the promt and execute it it says "lua' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Hey, Just learning lua (programming in general as im trying to make a FiveM server) and my output says : 'lua' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." every time I CTRL + Alt + N sorry if this is a stupid question to ask but would you know why this is happening??

can you make Advance lua tut sir?

Why not Python then?
