Things to note as you journey in the land of luvit

  • luvit is asynchronous from the ground up, necessitating the need for its own libraries.
  • luvit is built atop node's libuv. The API between the two are very similar. This common foundation is the main reason why luvit sometimes stray from the lua way of doing things.
  • require behaves more closely to node's than it does lua
  • Some objects which are normally global are hidden
    • table: local table = require('table')
    • string: local string = require('string')
  • Command-line arguments arg is process.argv
