Xavier GóngoraI really like <a href="https://social.toplap.org/tags/pandoc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pandoc</a> for rendering PDF documents from <a href="https://social.toplap.org/tags/markdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#markdown</a>. One gets to write plain text files, with all its benefits (version control, portability, etc.). Documentation on formatting syntax and extension is great; the time it would take me to format this by hand, using e.g. LibreOffice <a href="https://social.toplap.org/tags/Writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Writer</a>, is similar to the time it takes me to implement a template to accomplish it automatically.Also, most <a href="https://social.toplap.org/tags/LaTex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaTex</a> you know is applicable without hassle. Talk about rendering <a href="https://social.toplap.org/tags/math" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#math</a>!You can even write <a href="https://social.toplap.org/tags/Lua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lua</a> filters to manipulate pandoc's AST and implement custom functionality! I found a neat one to embed music scores using <a href="https://social.toplap.org/tags/Lilypond" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lilypond</a>, here: <a href="https://github.com/pandoc/lua-filters/blob/master/lilypond/lilypond.lua" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/pandoc/lua-filters/blob/master/lilypond/lilypond.lua</a>

Alejandro BaezMay seem small but <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/FerrousSystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FerrousSystems</a> donating their <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rust</a> spec is huge. In <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/lua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lua</a>, it's helped so much to design things like <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/luajit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#luajit</a> and custom embeds. 😎 <a href="https://rustfoundation.org/media/ferrous-systems-donates-ferrocene-language-specification-to-rust-project/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://rustfoundation.org/media/ferrous-systems-donates-ferrocene-language-specification-to-rust-project/</a>

BadriHey Fediverse! I just set up a <a class="hashtag" href="https://snipetteville.in/tag/markovbabbler" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MarkovBabbler</a> for the <a class="hashtag" href="https://snipetteville.in/tag/snipette" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Snipette</a> website and it was very fun so if you want to do something to fight scraper-bots I'm open to setting up a <a class="hashtag" href="https://snipetteville.in/tag/markovbabbler" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MarkovBabbler</a> for your website too. Consider this a mini <a class="hashtag" href="https://snipetteville.in/tag/fedihire" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediHire</a> ✨ 🪴 I'll set up <a class="hashtag" href="https://snipetteville.in/tag/nepenthes" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nepenthes</a> or something similar of your choice on your existing server, but customise it so it kind of looks like your website and can provide human visitors with a bit of entertainment. I don't know tooo much of its inner workings but I'm a quick learner and am also adept at styling/templating/picking up your website's vibes ✋ I'll assume you're already aware of the consequences of such tools and how effective (or not) they are (but feel free to ask!). 💰 You can pay me $0 to $50 whatever works, of course the more the better! (Also, you probably know this but all these tools are available for free if you'd rather DIY it) 🎧 One volunteer with an account is US Dollars or similar (first come first served, but preference to those I follow) can collect the payments on my behalf and use it to buy me a <a class="hashtag" href="https://snipetteville.in/tag/tangara" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tangara</a> which is also programmed with <a class="hashtag" href="https://snipetteville.in/tag/lua" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lua</a> same as <a class="hashtag" href="https://snipetteville.in/tag/nepenthes" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nepenthes</a> ⏳ Offer valid till I get a Tangara (or maybe even after?

Allanon 🇮🇹 :amiga:This is the first post of a series about my attempt to create an RPG Engine. I'm diving back into creating my very own RPG engine after multiple failed/abandoned attempts. I want it super flexible and avoid hardcoding as much as possible. The post covers using Hollywood-MAL (and Lua which is very similar) for coding and building damage types, creature attributes and status changes, with almost total customization.<a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/RPGEngine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RPGEngine</a> <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/HollywoodMAL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HollywoodMAL</a> <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Lua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lua</a> <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Programming</a><a href="https://www.a-mc.biz/2025/03/26/generic-rpg-engine-dev-log-1/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.a-mc.biz/2025/03/26/generic-rpg-engine-dev-log-1/</a>

Luna :nb_verified:Just trying to get into the neovim <a href="https://transfem.social/tags/lua" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lua</a> configuration and I feel so overwhelmed 🫠 So I got the LSP Server now, the plugin in <a href="https://transfem.social/tags/neovim" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neovim</a> but autocompletion doesnt seem easy. I read that there is a built-in autocomplete for LSP, but I dont understand how to use that one properly. But all over the place I find people using nvim-cmp and now I feel stupid 😵‍💫

MauriceElliott🍉I go through these periods of deep research on different programming languages, where I’ll pick one up, do a small project, try my best to understand the nuance of the design choices, what the language hopes to achieve, the motivations of its creator.Then other times (like right now) I think the only good language is a language that gets out of your way, and I switch back to writing lua.I feel like there’s must be a happy medium, but I’ve not found it.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#programming</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LUA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LUA</a>
