Not full bindings, just the one needed by the current editor. I just wanted to see how one can go without the standard lua bindings. So I've got it working 32-bit, 64-bit on my Mac OS X 10.6.6, with two little changes in the project to run with luajit.That's amazing! I will look at this when I can, because that's exactly what I want to do.
Thanks!I've got it to run on Windows using the PDCurses "C" library, later I would probably think of directly using ConsoleBuffer functions (if that's needed that is).
I really like the Defun{ } style with builtin doc, reminds of Common Lisp :)
Actually I always wanted to write console based editor in lua, to extend
later to a debugger, and this is perfect.
I'm using Emacs (Vista), and Aquamacs (Mac OS X) more and more, so this really helps (and lua-mode and lua2-mode - haven't decided on which on to stick).
I wish there was something like slime (swank controller + slime debugging for Common Lisp), but I'm not even sure whether it's possible.
Lua does not allow forward function declarations, and I cannot recompile just a function (or maybe there is a trick).
But lua and luajit are way smaller (and last one faster) - so that's a big plus there :)
