Catwell's Lua playground

This repository is used to store the various Open Source tools, algorithms and libraries I write in Lua (or rather LuaJIT + FFI) that do not deserve their own repository.

These are mostly unmaintained prototypes and ideas I gave up on. Projects I become more serious about graduate to their own repositories.

Prototypes

Me playing with something. Will move to another category soon, most probably "unmaintained".

• lua-mdb: pure Lua code to read LMDB databases
• etpan: WIP libetpan binding

Maintained (somewhat)

If you send me a bug report on one of those projects, I will at least try to give you an answer. I may update some of them.

• sha256: a SHA-256 implementation in pure LuaJIT+FFI.
• crdt: implementation of some Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types in Lua.
• deque: simple deque implementation (similar to the lists used in fakeredis).
• bimap: mirrored map implementation.

Unmaintained

I am unlikely to work again on any of those projects.

• lualua: an unfinished implementation of Lua 5.2 in LuaJIT.
• luajit-msgpack: LuaJIT FFI-based module for MessagePack.
• lua-pipe: syntax experiment, Lua version of Pipe in Python.
• lua-zerorpc: ZeroRPC implementation.
• nsqc: a NSQ client.
• cwbase: deprecated in favor of base2base.

Sample code

Not really tools, but rather small examples of how to do some things.

• cwtools: a small collection of useful functions
• concurrent-dotproduct: a simple ConcurrentLua example (outdated)
• unix: luaposix sample code (and C counterparts)
• tcpchat: simple TCP chat + Lua interpreter with LuaSocket
• git: toy implementation of parts of Git
• mirrorfs: a FUSE filesystem that mirrors a directory (uses Flu)

Graduated

• fakeredis: a Redis mock (same interface as redis-lua).
• iris: an Iris client.
• mirrorfs: a FUSE mirroring a directory.
