2 neat libraries I've found to work like this are Surreal[1] and CSS-Scope-Inline[2] to get your Locality of Behavior (and Style) without a huge overhead. That said, your markup can get unwieldy fairly quick, and you end up with a lot of similar and duplicated code/style blocks. My solution on a personal site, was to also use a backend-style templating library with partials[3], a file watcher[4] to build them automatically etc to kind of SSG a static site while maintaining reusable components. You can see where this is going, at what point does it make sense to just "reach for xyz framework" out of the gate? For as often as people (especially here) cry "ya aint gonna need it", there are at least as many times where people (less vocally) cry silently to themself, "I wish I'd just used a framework instead of unintentionally building a frank

it's still used heavily in some roblox games (they moved to their own implementation with convenience features) and openresty. https://github.com/leafo/lapis also, minor observation: https://lua.org/about.html#name

One thing people might need to keep in mind is that Lapis isn't particularly interested in adding features that itch.io doesn't need. Been almost a decade since websocket support was requested e.g. https://github.com/leafo/lapis/issues/233

Thank you for Moonscript! > The biggest open source project is a web framework for Open Resty: https://github.com/leafo/lapis Looks like lapis is ~15K lines. The Howl editor has ~58K lines (including bindings and tests) - making it bigger, technically ;)

Hey all, I made MoonScript about 6 years ago. I used it to build a ton of opensource stuff in addition to the company I founded. I use it every day and I'm very happy with how it's turned out. I regret not updating the language more frequently, but I've been busy building a bunch of stuff in it. The biggest open source project is a web framework for Open Resty: https://github.com/leafo/lapis It's used for the following open source websites: https://github.com/luarocks/luarocks-site https://github.com/leafo/streak.club The company I made, https://itch.io also runs on it. There are a a ton of extra Lua modules I've made in MoonScript to facilitate it. Here's a list of my published modules: https://luarocks.org/modules/leafo I've also completed Ludum Dare 11 times now, making a game each time in MoonScript. I've used https://love2d.org/ as

I would recommend openresty. A library that allows you to script nginx using a lightweight,easy to learn language lua. You get all the advantages of nginx (unmatched speed and resource efficiency) along with the ability to "inject" lua code into it's event loop. Which should be a compelling enough reason for you to give it at least some serious thought. As far as organization of code is concerned openresty does not impose any restrictions on you. But since it is just lua you can bundle you code into modules. And then you can use those modules using "require" much like in node js (though it is slightly different) Also there is lapis[1] and sailor[2] if you are looking for something more organized.

I know these frameworks to work with web applications: - Lapis: https://github.com/leafo/lapis - Sailor: https://github.com/Etiene/sailor - Luvt: https://github.com/luvit/luvit There is also the Pegasus.lua - http://evandrolg.github.io/pegasus.lua/ -, it is a http server to work with web application written in Lua

Well, it would appear to me this is one of the few posts on OpenResty. I recently discovered it myself as one of the faster options on the the TechEmpower Benchmarks. I know that this will lead to a benchmark flamewar, but that is where I first heard of it and started researching it. http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r6&hw=i7... However, you might also notice that this project uses Lua (specifically LuaJIT) to run embedded in the server. I would think this avoids the problems partially. There is even a new MVC project budding out of this for Lua/Moonscript called Lapis, if that really assuages your concerns. Seems pretty micro, so I am not sure it is meant to really handle your security concerns. It was used on a demo site for a web game shop site that made it here a few months ago. Check it out; it is pretty cool

The technology stack of the site is pretty interesting. I wrote a little about it here: http://leafo.net/posts/introducing_itchio.html#technology Essentially the web app runs directly inside of nginx (but a special build of nginx from the project OpenResty[0]). The entire site is coded in MoonScript[1], which is my language that compiles to Lua. I developed a web framework called Lapis while making this site, it doesn't have documentation yet but you can find the source here: https://github.com/leafo/lapis I you want to see another sample Lapis webapp you can check out my MoonRocks project.
