I usually don't comment much but I just had to because the video was the perfect example of a crash course that is aimed at non-beginner programmers. Fast, well explained, clear, to the point, highlight the difference between common programming languages. Really well done.

Somethings I would have liked to see were things like if there are generators, classes, decorators, anonymous functions etc.

You saved so much of my time. Thanks dude. I need to learn Lua for Open computers ^^

bro this is actually helpful cuz i aint trying to watching a beginner tutorial when im already a software engineering college student and too lazy to read documents on this… thanks for the crash course

Good! Except one possible oversight: 10/2 = 5 is incorrect. Lua 5.3 distinguishes between floats and integers. 10//2 = 5 is correct with two forward slashes (//) and performs the integer division like C and C-based languages. 10/2 = 5.0 defaults to a float(real) division like Pascal and Pascal-based languages.

This is perfect, you just need to learn one language decently well and you can learn others in a really small amount of time. Thanks for the tutorial!

Concise, quick, organized. Love it.

Perfectly paced and exactly what I needed with no fluff.

This was awesome! I've learned the basics of python and was able to follow just about everything just reading your examples and what I didn't understand I did when I unpaused it and listen to you explain. Would love to see videos like this for other languages!

This is an awesome video, it can be tough to find guides for new languages that aren't made for complete beginners to programming. Thank you!

Currently interviewing for a AAA game studio that uses Lua to build their interfaces (I have a FE/Javascript background). This was exactly what I needed to get a sense of what that would look like 👌

Almost everything I needed to know with very little wasted time. Much appreciated!

I'm a complete beginner and this video has helped me a lot and solved my various doubts. Well!! Thank You

Finally a tutorial that doesn't hand-hold you through the entire thing. It's so annoying especially if you already know how to program.

Surprised how well this crash course was. I now understand the basics of lua. You rock, friend!

Perfectly paced course for those who know how to code and can't sit still for more than a minute. Thanks for this!

I wished there were more such videos for "less known" languages. As developer is always so annoying to go through all those tutorials that explain for the 100th time what a var or a loop is... Very well done!

As advertised, a crash course. Just the way it should be done. Thanks!

I really needed this, im coming from js and ive been looking for a good video to take me off of the difference between lua and js. Thank you 😊

Great video, perfect for just getting a quick idea of what the language can and can't do.

For someone who knows how to program this is a really cool Crash Course :) Thanks a lot

Perfect concise explanation! Thanks for sharing this!

you just saved me 3 hours of learning things a already know. thank you dude

This is literally exactly what I need. Thank you so much

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you.

I usually do not comment, and I just had to say thank you! This was extremely well done!

WOW THE BEST CRASH COURSE I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!! THANK YOU!

hey if in the timestamps in the description you include "00:00 Intro" or something like that, it'll show the chapters in the youtube progress bar.

Brilliant explanation! Thank you very much

04:29 - I must note that «not x == 10» is equivalent neither to «not (x == 10)», nor to «x ~= 10»; in fact, «not» precedes the equality check. I think in section 3.4.7 they covered it. So instead you're trying to compare «not x» to «10», which will yield false any day of the week.

Thank you very much for this content! This is really helpful to get a quick start at the language.

Thanks, exactly what I needed!

A perfect crash course to get the idea of what Lua is instead of watching hours of tutorials.

This was a great short summary, thanks!

Perfect, very clear, thank you very much !!

Very insightful, just long enough to understand, good comparisons, and most of all.. free, lol. Great vid

another language that i can add in my resume 🐎🐎 thanks

Perfect introduction to a language.

Am speechless thank you so much you've literally saved me so much time

nice overview to get started with lua

Omfg that cheat sheet is legendary

This was great knowledge. Exactly what I wanted.

Just what I needed! Thanks!

Great video and very useful cheat sheet, thanks!

No time wasted here. Thanks

Man, this I exactly what I needed

Great video. Thank you so much!

This is exactly what I needed

Thanks for making this you are awesome!

Thanks, i didn't know how boolean value works, this video help me. But, not only boolean value, more things in this video was interesting.

Good video. As a somewhat decent C and dart user, this is just what i needed

This is a great crash course, exactly the kind of thing people like me who love to jump in a learn whilst doing need to get off the ground. But also alot of the stuff you mentioned were weird, to me they just look alot like VBA. But i guess they are both scripting languages

Nice video, you just saved me from documentation hell

Really helpful! I am searching for a lua crash course in order to work with sol2 library.

I hate when I try to learn another language and every course starts with programming learning instead of the language. Thank you :D

Good overview of the what and how but not of the why. What can you use it for?

amazing video! perfect length for me:D

Thanks for the cheat sheet

Great video! Ty

finally a good Lua video; thx! ;-)

Thanks you. Very cool.

preciate it fam

Thank you, Thank you.

I would like to have this cheat sheet printed in paper for reference. The link in the description takes me to the github, but it's not easy to print and keep the formating. Can you help me?

Good video, I understand some things

great video

Thanks for the tutorial. I was wondering what the hash was lol. Basically, it allows you to Enumerate like in python as long as you use the hash and declare the counter. Vimscript should have gotten some tips from lua, all the functions end with 'endfunction' , 'endfu'.

I have so many scripts of a game called Worms3D, but they are all in .LUB files. There is a good way to read the configs of each map (every script) of that files? How I have to manage to convert the Lub files into Lua files?

Thanks, i am learning Lua for neovim

Why they went with the ~= for inequality is a mistery to me. Not all keyboard layouts have the ~ key, for example my keyboard doesn't. Edit: Apparently it's not a problem anymore: I found out that you can use Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator (MSKLC) to create a layout and add any ascii/unicode character to any key! It's so cool. So I don't have to use Alt+126 to write ~ anymore.

I mean you can also pull out an on-screen keyboard

@@thenecroking6170 Yes but at that point it's quicker to use Alt+126 Or do the MSKLC thing once and get ~ mapped to the keyboard permanently

I did programming in Pascal in the 90s. It seems Lua is resurrecting Pascal from the past. Anyone who knows Pascal sure will agree with me.

It also seems to share some simlarities with LISP with the use of tables / lists and no variable types. Admittedly that's where the similarity to LISP ends.

On point

Can you do one tut where you incorporate Lua into C? Thx

this was uploaded 2 days after my birthday

Nice tutorial. Really good for just reminding basic concepts of this simple language. But... why global variables are done like that? Just not using "local" makes them global, as much as I know.

local data ={"Hello", "World"} for i, v in pairs(data) do print(i, v) end Yay

thanks

Where can I find your Lua cheatsheet?

omg i learned to code in 10 seconds!!!!

Awesome

Thank. This helped...

Can you direct me to a crash course for people who don't already code? I got interested in this because I want to make addons for World of Warcraft.

Great

tnx, bro)

Alright, now how do compile the thing ?

Hey Buddy, great video, but there are some mistakes, like the "if not x == 10 then", in Lua, we need to add parenthesis in the comparison, "if not (x == 10) then".

Can we make softwares with lua

thanks a lot man, great vid. keep going, i still dont get the point of this language tho

a lot of the examples were incorrect but you got the basic concepts down so its a 8/10 from me

First time i have heard round brackets.

I'm looking for a mentor in LUA. Can anyone help me?

If you are looking for an OOP library, use middleclass: github.com/kikito/middleclass. I tried about 15 different libraries and this one is the best.

Why you stopped making videos?

This language is so similar to Ruby, Elixir, Python and JavaScript.
