Hi everyone!
So I am absolutely just starting with Love but just from the tutorials it seems great :)
Having used/loved(no umlaut) lua pre-love, I'm wondering are there things I need to unlearn?
A general conversation area might not be bad, I just feel out of place when really I don't "need" info,
I mostly just want to talk, hope thats ok.
cheers
Scott

rude has been pretty clear in some posts that the dev team is committed to keeping all baseline lua functionality intact.

Case in point: love uses degrees, though the lua math functions are in radians. So now the plan is apparently to change the defaults in love, to better conform to vanilla lua.

The only real split I'm aware of is in the include and io. functionalities, which were limited in a few modest ways.
