TeejHOST

So what's interesting is, like, you know, they're talking to each other.
TeejHOST
42:55
I can execute Lua from the GUI inside of NeoVim.
TeejHOST
42:59
Oh, Lua's in here, too.
TeejHOST
43:01
Yeah, of course.
TeejHOST
43:02
NeoVim uses Lua.
TeejHOST
43:03
NeoVim uses Lua as its primary config thing.
TeejHOST
43:05
Okay, so we're
Casey MuratoriPANELIST

up to...
Gengis Ale PennoHOST
13:52
If I wanted to start building on Roblox tomorrow, is it getting easier? Is it still something that I need to have prior
Zach LetterGUEST
13:59
experience in? I mean, it's a different language that most developers aren't using, like Lua.
Zach LetterGUEST
14:08
But I mean, I've been told that...
Zach LetterGUEST
14:10
I'm not a programmer myself, but I've been told that Lua is like...
Zach LetterGUEST
14:14
in like a price check device at a Kohl's, you know? So it's like, like they have like, it's very accessible and it's been around a long time.
Zach LetterGUEST
14:21
And from what I've heard from our engineers is it's easy to learn.
Zach LetterGUEST
15:24
But from what I've heard, it's super approachable.
Zach LetterGUEST
15:28
I mean,
Gengis Ale PennoHOST
24:34
I say I've built a plugin API.
Gengis Ale PennoHOST
24:37
You can use Lua and you can go in and you can create mods and everyone can do it.
Gengis Ale PennoHOST
24:41
Have at it.
Gengis Ale PennoHOST
24:41
Have fun.

Gengis Ale PennoHOST

And like it does the engine and it like a whole suite of tools that like the next generation of gamers, especially young people that aren't as technical, they can build stuff out really fast.
Gengis Ale PennoHOST
50:41
And I think the same thing for mods.
Gengis Ale PennoHOST
50:43
Like I've spoken to streamers who are like, I wanted to make a Plaguebloom add-on in World of Warcraft and I don't know how to use Lua.
Gengis Ale PennoHOST
50:49
So I just went on Claude and it told me how to make it and I popped it in and boom, I had my own custom mod.
ThePrimeagenHOST
7:10
Is this true? Should you just always accept a language as it looks, or is the aesthetics of it important? Now, I'm going to throw something out there.
ThePrimeagenHOST
7:21
I like how Lua looks.
ThePrimeagenHOST
7:23
Wow.
Casey MuratoriPANELIST
7:24
Okay.
Casey MuratoriPANELIST
7:26
I thought you were going to program it.
Casey MuratoriPANELIST
7:27
Yeah, was that going to get dirty? It sounded like you were going somewhere with that.
Casey MuratoriPANELIST
7:31
It's like, I like how Lua...
Casey MuratoriPANELIST
7:33
Let me tell you about Lua.
Clare LiguoriGUEST
18:09
and it can do all of the bash scripting that it wants to do.
Clare LiguoriGUEST
18:12
And it can even do some Lua scripting as well and script multiple MCP tools together or multiple strands tools together.
Clare LiguoriGUEST
18:22
And so it's a really lightweight way to give some kind of additional superpowers to your agent without needing sort of heavyweight virtual machine for every invocation.
RomainHOST
18:37
okay so it's a lightweight sandbox without a micro vm or vm okay and um so that runs a virtual shell as you said and uh and then the agent can make some actions on on this file system and most notably as you said uh write some scripts to be able to um to achieve the task that has been given to to the agent How is that different from some of the capabilities that we have in Edge on Core like Code Interpreter?
Stephen BalabanGUEST
23:49
And you're kind of wondering, you know, and around the time when TensorFlow and Cafe started to become really popular, which was kind of really, in a sense, the democratization of of these deep learning libraries and frameworks because it used to be, back in the old days, that we would train on, you know, we would use either Theano.
Stephen BalabanGUEST
24:10
You either wrote Barracuda, you did Theano, or you did Torch, meaning Lua Torch.
Stephen BalabanGUEST
24:18
Yeah.
Stephen BalabanGUEST
24:19
And they were all three good options.
Stephen BalabanGUEST
24:22
Lua Torch is in Lua, the programming language.
Stephen BalabanGUEST
24:24
As in the original Torch before PyTorch was PyTorch was built on Lua.
JaydenHOST
24:30
Yes.
Stephen BalabanGUEST
24:31
And it had implementations for all the kernels in both CPU land and GPU land with CUDA.
Dave GagneHOST
40:15
It was just this rapid fire sound.
Dave GagneHOST
40:18
I was like, what is this sound? And I realized it was the rapid fire of errors, like Lua errors of add-ons absolutely going off.
Dave GagneHOST
40:32
It was insane.
Dave GagneHOST
40:34
And I realized it was only 17 different error messages, but the instances of the messages is the thing that keeps count.
Dave GagneHOST
42:09
What is it? I told her that was the sound of a broken game.
Dave GagneHOST
42:15
Take three was no different.
Dave GagneHOST
42:16
And then finally, I noticed that in the Lua errors that Elv UI was the cause for some of the errors, reminding me that I had not updated that most important add-on of all.
Dave GagneHOST
42:30
So I took a moment, did that.
Ravi AbbottHOST
26:53
It's, um, interesting the, the, the amount of kind of care that's gone into it.
Ravi AbbottHOST
26:57
So they've got a, a level editor with it, um, which is a cool idea, and I think they've also got, um, scripts can be altered if you, if you use the scripting language Lua as well.
Joe FoxHOST
27:08
Oh, yeah.
Ravi AbbottHOST
27:08
So you can maybe start to create your own ones.
Erik OnarheimHOST
33:37
A- and you can, you can in...
Erik OnarheimHOST
33:39
You can do the Lua thing, and it's one file.
Erik OnarheimHOST
33:41
You can embed it anywhere.
Erik OnarheimHOST
33:43
So it's, it's really awesome in that way.
Brodie RobertsonHOST
80:04
Neovim brought in things like, um, parallel plugin, um, yeah, uh, parallel plugin support.
Brodie RobertsonHOST
80:12
Uh, they, they brought in, like, Lua configuration.
Brodie RobertsonHOST
80:15
Like, all of these other...
Brodie RobertsonHOST
80:16
Obviously, these are, like, way bigger changes than you probably do for something like this, but there's still improvements that you can make that sort of improve the experience without necessarily-
