Re: Lua library api style recommendations

[Diego Nehab <diego@...>]

My conclusion is that all memory management should be left to Lua. You should trust its garage collection.

I once ran a thought experiment to see what kind of changes would be needed to get a kind of C++ move semantics into Lua.

The goal was for this to work in situations such as ((a + b) + c) or a = a + b. Not always, but most of the time and in a safe way.

Has anybody else thought about this possibility?
