In plain words

LuaJIT-libuv is a Lua library that provides access to libuv, a cross-platform asynchronous I/O library, through LuaJIT's foreign function interface. It enables Lua developers to use libuv's non-blocking capabilities for network operations and event handling. The binding includes coroutine support, allowing developers to write asynchronous code in a more straightforward sequential style. The project is available on GitHub for developers looking to build high-performance Lua applications with concurrent I/O operations.

    Some time ago, I was implementing saves for my LOVE2D game. I wanted to do a full dump of the game state -- which included closures (AI), complex graphs, sets with tables as keys and also fundamentally non-serializable data (coroutines and userdata), that require user-defined serialization/deserialization logic. I went through every Lua serialization library -- none covered all data types/cases. So I wrote my own. It is a polished version, thoroughly annotated, tested and documented. It is made to be as functional and customizable as possible (or at least I did everything I could…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
