Now that I work at Igalia on the networking team, I've started to write code in Lua (specfically with LuaJIT) in order to work with Snabb. Since I'm still a Lua newbie, I decided to attend this year's Lua Workshop in San Francisco to learn what's going on in the community.
The workshop was a lot of fun! Kudos to Mashape for hosting the event. The talks were easy to follow even for a Lua newbie like myself. I took notes on all of the talks, but I won't go over all the details since the talks were recorded and you can just see for yourself. Instead, I wanted to go over some of my personal highlights.
