A Surprisingly Simple Lua Compiler
SBLP '21: Proceedings of the 25th Brazilian Symposium on Programming LanguagesDynamically-typed programming languages are often implemented using interpreters, which offer several advantages in terms of portability and flexibility of the implementation. However, as a language matures and its programs get bigger, programmers may ...
Typed Lua: An Optional Type System for Lua
Dyla'14: Proceedings of the Workshop on Dynamic Languages and ApplicationsDynamically typed languages trade flexibility and ease of use for safety, while statically typed languages prioritize the early detection of bugs, and provide a better framework for structure large programs. The idea of optional typing is to combine the ...
