LuSH 0.15 with syntax sugar

#lua #rust

This new release of LuSH brings some interesting and important improvements (not officially supported by LUA), being:

String interpolation 

local name = "Thiago"
env.print("My name is ${name}")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

String split 

local items = string.split("string with spaces", " ")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Shell exec 

print("Lush scripts:")
$> ls scripts | grep ".lush"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

outputs:

Lush scripts:
mod1.lush
test2.lush
test3.lush
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Subshell exec 

print("Lush scripts, again:")
local scripts = $( ls scripts | grep ".lush" )
local tok = string.split(scripts, '\n', false)
for i, v in ipairs(tok) do
    print(i .. ': ' .. v)
end
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

outputs:

Lush scripts, again:
1: mod1.lush
2: test2.lush
3: test3.lush
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Installing:

To install, simply run:

cargo install lush
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
