An Emacs major mode providing syntax highlighting, indentation, REPL integration, and tooling for editing Lua code.
What is lua-mode?
lua-mode is an Emacs major mode for editing Lua source code. It provides syntax highlighting, automatic indentation, integration with a Lua REPL for code evaluation, and support for various Emacs tools like imenu and Flymake. It solves the problem of lacking a dedicated, feature-rich editing environment for Lua within the Emacs editor.
Lua developers who use Emacs as their primary text editor and need a specialized mode for writing, testing, and navigating Lua code efficiently.
Developers choose lua-mode because it offers a deeply integrated, customizable Lua editing experience within Emacs, including live REPL interaction and tooling support, which enhances productivity compared to generic editing modes.
