RE: A Lua standard library, again

["Jerome Vuarand" <jerome.vuarand@...>]

Success is dependant on exposition. I think that a "Recommended by Lua authors" brand would bring immediate acceptance to any lib that don't already have *serious* contenders (LuaSocket is one of these "giants"). A link from official Lua website would be enough.

As a side note I think that if we stick to OS things a submodule of os would be the best place to put that standardized new library, something like os.opt or os.ex (note that "os.opt" is not longer than "string" or "package").

Please note that I'm not proposing a standard Lua library along the lines of LuaCheia. I'm proposing the creation of a simple library for common OS services. That should be much smaller and much less ambitious and so should have a fair chance of succeeding. --lhf
