Lua is one of those languages that I knew at one point, I wrote a ton of it, including guides, but I've forgotten exactly everything about it now, enough that when I see Lua code, I don't even recognize what language it is.

@neauoire I had no idea! Could you point me at some of your writings from back then?

@neauoire It's amazing how often I read about some little machine -- and totally miss that it's programmed using Lua.

I probably didn't know for a couple of years that the Pico-8 was programmed using Lua.

Same for me with Pascal (actually Turbo Pascal, it was great!).

@GustavinoBevilacqua all the pascal lookalikes(OCCAM, Ada, modula, oberon, ..) are the same to me too. It's all just one big language.

@neauoire I taught myself Lua to make a pico 8 game, and then once I finish the game I completely forgot everything I knew about Lua.

@neauoire Lua in Sardinia is the Euforbia Dendroides. It was used to fish by diluting its toxic sap in the water so that fishes come up to the surface and are easily catched by hand. So, when somebody has gone gaga you call him PISCI ALLUAU.

@neauoire lua has a syntax thats fairly nondescript. I’ve had to relearn it a couple times now. However, the one thing I never forget about lua is the flexible table syntax. I wish LSON would have overtaken JSON.
