Sailor – A Lua MVC framework
- justincormack 12y agoNice to see a larger framework that works with ngx_lua/openresty.
- etiene 12y agoThanks! Integration with openresty was a contribution by Felipe Daragon! :D
- monocasa 12y agoSince Lua is Portuguese for "moon", is this a Sailor Moon reference?
- etiene 12y agoYes! Thanks for noticing! And the blog app example is called Tuxedo!
- paracaidista 12y agoI noticed those release names, too! Made my day.
- etiene 12y agoOne is glad to be of service! :D
- jdotjdot 12y agoThis totally went over my head and I am so glad you pointed it out. I now want to use it just because of that
- etiene 12y agoHahaha cool! Thanks, go ahead!
- bratao 12y agoProud to see this kind of project coming from a Brazilian university. Congratulations !
- infinite8s 12y agoYou do know that Lua was developed at a Brazilian university (the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro)?
- etiene 12y agoThanks! As an undergrad, I'm specially happy!
- kremlin 12y agoViewing this on Chrome on Android. Being built with bootstrap, it's a bit surprising that the responsiveness of the site is so poor. Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/nnG3zgg.png http://i.imgur.com/nnG3zgg.png
- etiene 12y agoSailor's website does not use the bootstrap feature. To be honest I just picked a random nice-looking open template. It has its issues but it's not that bad! XD I confess I gotta work on that. Thanks for pointing it out!
- vince_refiti 12y agoI am surprised you are not using OpenResty, like Lapis.
- etiene 12y agoWe do have OpenResty support. But sailor doesn't work just with it. It also works on Apache, Xavante (a lua written server) and Mongoose (a very lightweight server)
- vince_refiti 12y agoGood. I missed reading it when I posted. Thanks for the info!
- statik_42 12y agoThis is very cool. I love Lua, though my experience with it is limited to the few weeks I spent playing around with it as a Source engine scripting language in Half-Life 2: Sandbox. Still, it was very fun to learn, and I think this is an interesting application outside of its usual game scripting territory that I'd love to try out sometime. Great work! Thanks for sharing.
- tete 12y agoThere are a lot of really nice Lua frameworks recently. Lapis is really cool too: http://leafo.net/lapis/ http://leafo.net/lapis/
- etiene 12y agoYes! Orbit is very cool too even though it's not updated often. I'm really glad to see such a variety of projects in Lua community!
- tete 12y agoThere seems to be a trend. It's really nice, because just about everything has a Lua interface these days and you can make nice applications in it. Like Lua works embedded in databases like Redis or web servers like nginx or operating system kernels, like NetBSD. And it's really simple to learn and really performant, especially with LuaJIT. I always feel like it is showing off with simplicity, while still being a "normal" language the majority of people easily can get into quickly. I always like the give the example of my brother finishing games with love2d (basically just wrapping SDL, especially back then) in a matter of days, without prior programming knowledge (unless you call basic HTML and CSS programming, no JS). Out of curiosity: How did you start out with Lua?
- etiene 12y agoI study at PUC-Rio where it was created. So I thought it was a matter of honor to try to learn it! xD Sailor was my first experience with it.
