Hi all,

my first post. First of all - thanks for the lovely language.

I've experimented yesterday:

http://luabits.com:7777/help

To describe it in 2 words - the basic idea is that if one uses such an
approach - the app is really ~fully determined by its SHA-1 hash,
since the dependencies are also hash values that are in the source -
so are part of the "signature".

So, the "deployment" is very simplified.

This of course assumes lua-only apps.

The obvious drawback is if you use this for active development, there
is a whole lot of things that would change with each "revision".

cheers,
andrew
