Lua at FOSDEM

FOSDEM (https://fosdem.org), the Free and Open Source Developers European Meeting, has become a traditional meeting point for the Lua community. The Lua community has convened in FOSDEM regularly over the last few years:

• BoF meeting at FOSDEM 2015
  • organized by HishamMuhammad
• Lua devroom at FOSDEM 2016 - https://archive.fosdem.org/2016/schedule/track/lua/
  • organized by HishamMuhammad and PierreChapuis
• Lua devroom at FOSDEM 2017 - https://archive.fosdem.org/2017/schedule/track/lua/
  • organized by PierreChapuis and EtieneDalcol?
• BoF meeting at FOSDEM 2018
  • organized by HishamMuhammad and PierreChapuis

Lua at FOSDEM 2019

We are submitting a devroom proposal for a Minimalistic Languages Devroom together with the Scheme community ( http://community.schemewiki.org/?FOSDEM2019 ) , with whom we split a devroom at FOSDEM 2016 and 2017. The idea is to expand the idea of the full-day Lua/Guile event into a wider scope, inviting other language communities for a cross-polination of ideas.

There a number of talk topics the Lua community can contribute to the room (if you have talk ideas, feel free to add them here!)

• LuaJIT and state-of-the-art JIT compilation
• Lua for network packet processing
• Alternative Lua implementations: RaptorVM, Fengari
• Languages that run on the LuaVM: MoonScript?, Fennel, Urn
• Statically-typed languages based on Lua: Titan, Pallene
• Game development frameworks and libraries: Defold, Love2D, etc.
• Embedded systems
• LuaRocks and package management
