A comprehensive guide to setting up a complete Lua development environment on Windows with native compilation support for LuaRocks packages.
Setting up Lua development on Windows with native compilation capabilities is notoriously complex. You need:
This guide will go through the FULL process of installing Lua + MinGW + Luarocks on native Windows. This guide is for those who want to use Lua on Windows without WSL and want everything to work well. By the way, it would be greatly appreciated if anyone wants to make a script that does all of this.

This made me think about recent phenomenon of programmers who seem to be working on games with existing codebases their whole career, without significant contribution to any of those code bases, but who are very vocal and opinionated about things in those code bases.
Some traits of Yelp programmers are:
