• Lua: The Little Language That Could

  There's also the http://prosody.im/ XMPP server that's written in Lua, and it's very successful there. The other major XMPP server implementation is in Erlang and they are equally praised, so that should tell something about Lua's versatility. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Lua: The Little Language That Could

  Lua on its own right can be fun too! If you are looking for a project to contribute to, there's for instance the Prosody XMPP server that's written in it, and contributes to the betterment of internet by promoting federated protocols. Source: about 1 year ago

• A History of Lua

  You can write largish standalone application in Lua and it is not always a poor choice - Prosody [1] first comes to mind.

• Chat app to allow messaging between my daughter and I?

  If you are really set on a LAN-only setup you could look at Prosody (combined with an Android app such as Conversations) which Snikket is based upon. It's not as "ready to go, out of the box" as Snikket and therefore requires a slightly higher skill level, but in exchange it is a lot more customizable and adaptable to different kinds of deployment scenarios.

• Ask HN: What is your recommended stack for real time chat?

  My choice, because it's the stack I know very well, would be Prosody ( https://prosody.im/ - I'm one of the devs) and a web client such as Converse.js ( https://conversejs.org/ ). XMPP is highly extensible, Prosody is highly modular, which make them a good foundation for building on top of.

  On-prem exchange is phasing out quickly, but those skills can still be very useful in MS Powershell/PowerApps. Source: about 1 year ago

• Looking for a simple solution.

  If you have an Office 365 license (likely if you're using Excel), Microsoft PowerApps are a decent option for a low code platform. You can create a SQL Server to hold the data and connect it to PowerApps to view/edit the data. Source: over 1 year ago

• Use Power Automate to Retrieve Data from an Azure Function for Reporting

  This post explores how to automate the process using Power Automate. If you haven’t used Power Automate before it’s part of the Power Platform suite of tools that includes Power Platform, Power Pages, Power Virtual Agents, andPower BI. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Finding the right low-code platform has been very stressful/confusing

  PowerApps (obviously) - https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/ - Created by Microsoft, it's easy to use but can be a bit expensive side. You do get value for your money. Source: about 2 years ago

• Are there any benefits to learn coding that can help with recruiting practices?

  Microsoft's Power Platform comes to mind - Power Apps and Power Automate specifically. You can automate a whole host of things with Power Automate, such as engagement with Microsoft Forms, emails, approvals, etc. Source: over 2 years ago
