Codename Engine should add LUAU for scripting

[ADA-Funni]

That's all I wanted to say

[Frakits]

if only it was that easy...

[ADA-Funni]

Yeah, I know.
There's no LUAU library for Haxe 😭

[ADA-Funni]

I deadass started a debate in the server over this lmfao-

[r6915ee]

...Isn't Luau just for Roblox, or am I missing something? Besides, I don't think that regular Lua is supported for scripting, as Codename needs HScript for its scripting.

Luau is open source, and also HScript and Lua can both coexist, but this doesn’t need Lua at all

Ah, alright. I was just confused because I thought that Luau was only used for Roblox, even though a website for it exists.

it was, but it’s open source, you can look at it here https://github.com/luau-lang/luau

The engine is NOT getting Lua support, but your welcome to add your own support for it.

There is a fork of CNE called Bird Engine that adds Lua.

[THEkatinamicrowave]

erm... sir...? LUAU is the roblox language
did you mean LUA? because that's not getting added either

As @moxie-coder said as a reply to my comment, Luau is open-source and has been used in many products, with some other games citing the usage of it.

it’s only been used in Roblox for all I know, it’s open source but I’ve not seen it be used anywhere else so far

It is so Roblox, in fact, that the logo is literally just a merging of the LUA logo and Roblox Studio logo

I think it's also used in Warframe if I recall, based on what the website/repository says.
