Hi Michael,
this looks very interesting! What did you use it for?
Do you have plans to adapt your src/luamacs.c and make it into
something that can be loaded as a module? I am quite incompetent with
C, so I can't help you with the C side besides offering encouragement
and testing...
At this moment I have these short-term goals with the emlua module:
1. Adapt https://github.com/edrx/edrxrepl to emlua,
2. Use emlua to help me edit the files into which I throw
interesting URLs compulsively when I am browsing the web in
half-brain-dead mode,
One of my medium-term goals is to use emlua to turn Emacs into an
editor of derivation trees - see:
http://angg.twu.net/dednat6/tug-slides.pdf
at this moment I have to edit them by hand, using rectangle commands
and picture mode, and some operations on them are hard to do... Note
that dednat6 has a mini-Forth inside, that is based on this:
http://angg.twu.net/miniforth-article.html
And this may be somewhat related to the other stuff in your github
page...
Cheers! =)
