About

LuaConsole is a CLI application designed to support lua51, lua52, lua53, and luajit while not breaking compatibility, but also adding some very QOL features. The at-birth goal for LuaConsole was to be better than PUC-Lua in terms of pretty code, more operation, and less bugs. Soon after I took a look at LuaJit and reworked it after exporting some functions to learn (and fix) them aka jitsupport.c. One other step was luaadd.dll` which added a few debug things such as stack_dump() and primarily just current directory manipulation and terminal clearing. However, that was scrapped due to the complexity it added. stack_dump() was imported into the main project. See the website at the LuaConsole Website!
