• What do I think about Lua after shipping a project with 60k lines of code?

  I have used it a long time ago but I don't remember ever touching C/C++. You can even make simple games without ever going low level thanks to https://love2d.org/! If I recall, most https://stabyourself.net/ games are based on love2d. If you're using Linux/MacOS, you can copy-paste these commands on the terminal and you should be settled:. - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

• What do I think about Lua after shipping a project with 60k lines of code?

  Love2D is popular (https://love2d.org/) Also Lua binaries are available here (https://luabinaries.sourceforge.net/) And a big list of Lua frameworks (https://github.com/uhub/awesome-lua [1] https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT. - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

• Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?

  I've built a few games with my son over the years. The fun part for us was all about fast iteration, and then laughing at the bugs together. There are some other recommendations here for how to approach 3d, and he is specifically asking for 3d -- but I want to put in one more pitch for 2d: the fun-to-tedium ratio can be much higher. I wonder if you could spend some time prototyping some of his ideas in LÖVE... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Show HN: A variant of Conway's Game of Life in color you can run on your phone

  * When a cell is born it randomly takes on the color of one of its (3) parents. To try it out: 1. Install LÖVE for your device from https://love2d.org (~5MB and open source). (iOS requires building from source on a Mac, or installing the third-party Love2D Studio: https://love2d-studio.marknoteapp.com) 2. Install my Lua Carousel from https://akkartik.itch.io/carousel (~100KB). It includes all its source code and... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Gearing up for Lua

  Probably the most important piece of software we'll be playing around with is a game engine called LÖVE. Lua is well known around developer circles as being a good scripting language when it comes to making games, and this engine is one of the more popular. I'll be going through installation at the end of this post. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• The Adventures of Blink #24: Javascript? Ain't Nobody Got Time Fo Dat

  When I first encountered Vaadin, it really intrigued me. It's always bothered me that for a Java programmer to make an app based in the browser, they had to learn HTML and Javascript to actually finish the project. Why the heck couldn't we just do it all in a single language? Why all this front-end voodoo? - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• My opinion on the Tauri framework

  I've always liked GUI, both desktop-based and browser-based before you needed five years of training on the latter. That's the reason I loved, and still love Vaadin: you can develop web UIs without writing a single line of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. I'm still interested in the subject; a couple of years ago, I analyzed the state of JVM desktop frameworks. - Source: dev.to / 22 days ago

• A list of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS offerings that have free tiers of interest to devops and infradev

  Vaadin — Build scalable UIs in Java or TypeScript, and use the integrated tooling, components, and design system to iterate faster, design better, and simplify the development process. Unlimited Projects with five years of free maintenance. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• The conjunction of the web

  But how do we explain the complexity of the current toolset? This is where the Law of the instrument kicks in: "If the only tool you have is a hammer, it is tempting to treat everything as if it were a nail.". Even if JavaScript was born in the web, JavaScript centered frameworks do not fit properly in the web. That is why we have huge bundles of JavaScript, that is why RSC are necessary (things like RSC were... - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

• Ask HN: Why is web development such a daunting task?

  Skip javascript entirely. Pynecone (https://pynecone.io/), Vaadin (https://vaadin.com/), Buffalo (https://github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo) all exist and can help you avoid some of the mess that is web/JS development. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
