- Subject: [ANN] Windows ports of luaish and lua-linenoise
- From: Choonster TheMage <choonster.2010@...>

Hello all,
I've just finished porting Steve Donovan's luaish[1] and Rob Hoelz's
lua-linenoise[2] to Windows.
luaish is a better REPL for Lua. luaish is based on lua.lua which is a
Lua interpreter front-end written in Lua by David Manura.
To port luaish, I replaced all the POSIX calls with various functions
from winapi, LuaFileSystem and Penlight. Optional Microlight
pretty-printing was replaced with compulsory Penlight pretty-printing.
luaish-windows can be found on GitHub[3].
-------
lua-linenoise is a binding to Linenoise, a minimal, zero-config, BSD
licensed, readline replacement used in Redis, MongoDB, and Android.
lua-linenoise itself didn't actually need any changes, I just packaged
it with a Windows-compatible version of linenoise from MSOpenTech's
Windows port of redis[6], renamed a few files and created a new
rockspec.
lua-linenoise-windows can also be found on GitHub[4].
I'll probably release both of these as rocks soonish.
Regards,
Choonster
