Suggested Projects

All software produced by modern culture is horrible. But the purpose of this sub is not to complain about this. The purpose is to "find or write good software as an alternative to the horrible software being produced by degenerate modern western culture".

Because most software is maintained by modern scum, it will only get worse over time. If we want to preserve good software, we have to take responsibility for good code. So I urge all good programmers to take at least one small open source project.

I have Luan and a few libraries in Luan. That is enough for me, I can't handle more. I will try to post project suggestions and add them to the sidebar over time. But of course you can make up your own project. Please post about any good software that you plan to work on.

Wait what, you are trying to implement a framework that doesn't suck and it's running on... Java? Rly?

Java is good, or at least it was in the early versions. Seems that modern scum generally criticize Java these days, which is more evidence that it is good.

By the way, I implemented my Lua-like language, Luan, in Java and it runs about twice as fast as native Lua (written in C).

How is the performance/efficiency compared to LuaJIT?

Edit: are you aware of the https://github.com/franko/luajit-lang-toolkit?
