Re: Introducing LuaZDF - Lua Zero Dependency Functions

[Miha Cooper <mihakuper@...>]

Why do you not consider to give people opportunities to use ZDF as regular libarary AS WELL, not only using lzt.

I mean much more useful and familiar way is:

1. clone ZDF repo using git (or add as git submodule) or install using luarocks
2. Write "require 'luazdf.math'" in you project (for that you should extend your lib)
   

I think it's better to give users BOTH ways and they will decide which one is better: copying without dependencies or add dependency without copying.

I like this project by the way and may contribute in case you agree with my suggestions =)

Good Point.

The website is a static site that can be generated with https://github.com/aiq/luazdf-website.
I think at the weekend about a solution.
