Lumen
A simple, dependency-free coroutine-based multitasking environment for Lua, featuring a scheduler, signals, pipes, and mutexes.
What is Lumen?
Lumen is a Lua multitasking environment that provides a coroutine-based scheduler and communication primitives for building concurrent applications. It solves the problem of coordinating multiple tasks in Lua without relying on external dependencies or C extensions, offering a pure-Lua solution that works across Lua 5.1, 5.2, and LuaJIT.
Lua developers building concurrent or networked applications, such as game servers, IoT systems, or embedded scripting environments, who need lightweight multitasking without external dependencies.
Developers choose Lumen for its simplicity, portability, and dependency-free design, enabling easy integration into existing Lua projects while providing essential concurrency primitives like signals, pipes, and mutexes.
