Lunar, a coding harness extensible with Lua
Hi all! Sharing a small pet project my agents and I have been working on: Lunar, a coding harness configurable and extensible via Lua scripts. I'm already using Lunar to develop Lunar :) Give it a try! Soon you will be able to extend it using Lua hooks.
What it does
a Lua-scriptable experimental coding harness. Contribute to gszr/lunar development by creating an account on GitHub.
Lunar gives the model four tools— read , write , edit , and bash . No hidden system prompts Lunar is deliberately small: a Rust host owns the terminal, model transport, and four tools, while a Lua guest supplies model and provider configuration. It does not impose plan modes, sub-agents, approval prompts, or another workflow between you and the model. Context stays inspectable. Lunar sends your project's AGENTS.md , CONTEXT.md , and skill summaries as a visible user message—never a hidden system prompt. Conversations are durable, linear missions you can leave and resume. cargo install --git https://github.com/gszr/lunar Configure Configure Lunar with ~/.lunar/control/init.lua .

- LALunar, a "fast", memory-efficient Lua 5.1 VM written in GoAug 2026 · github.com · ▲8
I'm releasing Lunar, a new Lua 5.1 compiler and virtual machine written entirely in Go. It includes the standard libraries, coroutines as well as supporting Lua 5.2-style goto. The embedding API avoids the Lua C API’s stack-based interface in favor of typed Go values and callback frames. Libraries and script-file access are opt-in, so the host explicitly controls what Lua code can access. On my current benchmarks and use-cases, Lunar is often ~1.5x to 2x faster than GopherLua and Shopify’s go-lua. Its largest improvement however is memory use: loading a 9 MB CBOR-derived object graph…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
