I love stuff like this. Actually, this is an especially good example - this gent is really sceptical about all these different frameworks, yet he praises löve. Awesome.
Do you recognise when the world won't stop for you? Or when the days don't care what you've got to do? When the weight's too tough to lift up, what do you? Don't let them choose for you, that's on you.

Cool article! I agree with pretty much everything he said (except for Lua being strange...).

As a side note: a programmer who had never heard of Lua until 6 months ago? That's sort of hard to believe :D

Lua is strange in some ways. Like default global? I hate having to type local. Thankfully we have multiple assignment to alleviate the issue. Interesting albeit brief article.

Nice to see some outside interest in Love propping up again. It does seem like every 3 or 6 months a post on reddit's /r/programming shows up about Love, and then vanishes just as fast.
Crappy scoping?
Lua has crappy scoping? Maybe someone hasn't heard of Javascript's hoisting.

My thoughts exactly.
When I write def I mean function.
