Re: ipairs in Lua 5.3.0-alpha

[Jan Behrens <jbe-lua-l@...>]

First of all, thank you for the fruitful discussion on ipairs. I
learned a lot about the way of doing things in Lua.

Even if my ideas probably didn't convince most of you (if there is
anyone at all that I have convinced), I still feel like it would be
good to allow for a more smooth integration of tables/sequences and
iterators/functions.

Instead of pasting more and more Lua and C code on this list, I decided
to create a small source code repository to explain my ideas.

If you are interested in taking a look at my idea of how to deal with
sequences and iterators, visit:

It's not yet time for making rocks. These ideas are still quite
experimental. But as I said, I created a source code repository for my
ideas.

(The code should be usable already.)
